Log onto fiat Accessories UK, select 500 then Fiat badges logo kit

Mind you this is a full kit and retails at £54. There are some boot badges for sale on e-bay but for models other than the 500. Not sure if they will fit.
Failing the above your jolly old dealership.

Thanks but it's the chrome badge which reads 'TwinAir' that I'm looking for, not the standard boot badge. I guess I'd best try the dealer.
Surely FIAT must make this part available separately as it could be required to repair an accident damaged car.

Yes, you'd have thought so but none of the Fiat dealers who sell parts on-line seem to stock it. Perhaps it's because it is a 'new' product?
Why not just get on the dog to your local franchised dealer?

You could always bribe the dealer to take it off their tester = ) Not like anyone buying the test car would notice.
First thing I did when I got my twinair home was to remove the dealer sticker and twinair badge

Talking about dealer advertising my cars rear numberplate came with a plastic holder drilled in the back with dealer insignia and you just slide the numberplate in! So that means to remove that horrible thing i will have to drill holes in the numberplate! Or i should remove the front one and put it in the back thus going with no front plate usa style! I think it looks much better like this.
IMO the best way to attach numberplates (in the UK at least) is to use self-adhesive pads. No need to drill anything

Because the parts section is closed for the weekend
I'll give them a call during the week but just thought I'd ask on here in the off chance that someone might know of an on-line supplier.

I like the Twin Air badge on the back of the 500. I'll only seen it on press photos of the 'new' Twin Air models with the 'black alloys'. I take it that it does not appear on the 'standard' Twin Air models. Hopefully you will have no trouble getting a hold of one.

A question for you loulou - when you 'moved' from the 1.4 to the current TA what were the main differences you found in the driving experience ?

I spotted the badge on a white 500 whilst in Nottingham a couple of weeks ago. It looked good so got me thinking about getting one. I don't know why the 'earlier' Twin Air wasn't badged? I'll give the dealer a ring this morning and report back with the price.
Excuse my lack of correct 'techy' terms but the main difference was that the TA was slower at accelerating - the 1.4 seemed much more responsive. It took a while to get used to driving it - you need to change up a gear much earlier than with the 1.4 - and I kept reaching for 6th gear on the motorway, but I'm really enjoying driving it now and wouldn't change back to a 1.4. Probably sounds a bit 'odd' but my other car is a Morris Minor and driving the TA is, to me, the nearest modern equivalent. Not the fastest thing on the road but loads of character, curvey, cheap to run, fun to drive, no road tax and a 'burbling' engine noise

Update: Just phoned my local Fiat dealer only to be told that the parts dept doesn't take calls and I'd have to go there to find out whether they have a particular part in stock
The good news is that after further internet searching I've found an on-line supplier, partsworld-uk. The badge is £9.99 plus £2.95 postage
