They fold both ways Alun, that way they should move no matter what way they get hit.

You do have to push fairly hard though

Like the front one, not too keen on the back one tbh.

Everyone hates the back one lol

I was just surprised you didn't colour code it to the silver paintwork!

FRONT YES!!!

BACK NO!!!

agree with all- front looks cool, black looks awful

HOWEVER, i think if you were to colour code the insert sections of the badge silver like the car so only the outer ring and the lines remained black, i think it might looks ok

Yeah I'd be fine with that. Would look silly with a black badge on the front and silver on the rear. Do the black badges just look crap on silver? That's what I get for being impatient and settling on a silver car

It looks fine with black on the front and silver on the rear mate.
