Pop into Ford commercial,I think the ones off the transit vans etc. badges are the same size as ST ones.




Never knew that. Worth knowing though

I didn't either, I thought I'd heard before that they were a unique size badge.

I have the same problem, I thought it was the pigeons crapping on my car tho.

I have ordered two black ones from DMB after speaking to cron and they should be here any day now.

Will post some pics provided I can get the old ones off.

Hi Cron

had the badges although they were not raised so I ended up with the wrong size.

Might order bigger to fit the whole fully although need to think of a way to stop thieving gits nicking them as they are stick on - super glue maybe.

Wuth fraud cost cutting events i wouldnt have thought they would supply a badge solely for the fiesta and have all others a different size,not cost effective.

Update - It looks on casual inspection at a Ford commercial vehicles dealership that at least some transit badges are the same size as the front badge. I'll investigate further.

So, the transit badges are the same size, but - they aren't actually the same badge face, and the van badge is slightly lighter blue (van is left hand badge)



and it is flatter than the pukka badge



But when it's on the car - can you tell the difference?

That's really good! I know I'm sad but I'm a stickler for perfection (you can see its flatter, the blue oval bit is bigger and the chrome bits round the edge arent as prominent) but I'd rather have the pukka badge. Might be worth it for others who dont mind though!

It is ever so slightly different, but if its cheaper then it is definitely an option for anyone who loses the original.

Thanks for the feedback people - further news though, I saw a transit connect today that has a front badge the correct size - and looked much closer to the ST badge, maybe even the same. Ah well, back to the dealership....

It's only money.

You can't buy the badge by itself so there's no comparison. The only way to do it "properly" is to buy the whole front mesh part where the badge sits. This is why Lplus is looking into alternatives & ways of replacing just the badge.
