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 :D

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

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 :lol:

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