Default Someone with a UK/EU Red Car

Can you tell me what colour your H badges are on the front and rear.

On the silverstone they badge is solid with the badge colour being the same colour as the car. I think Red badges on a silver car would look great ala Type R.

Jason, I reckon you've got a point there. The red on silver would look pretty good!

I agree - and it would match your red S2ki decal

I think its worth looking into - I fancy a set of Red badges. The red H badges off Type R cars look a bit smaller than the S2000 H - am I right?

I hate to be the negative one (again ) but has anyone actually removed a badge from an EU/UK car yet? I've read that the badges are colour keyed somehow but might they just be transparent...?

Actualy, when I think about it I guess probably not - if the adhesive around the edge of the badge leaked then you would see dirt etc. trapped beneath the badge...

A guy who bought his S2K at the same garage as me has stripped off all the badges on his silver, and replaced the front and rear ones with red equivalents. Not sure how he got on with the job, but it looked pretty good once completed.
