59MM Red/Chrome MG badge

Bought this on ebay, went to fit it to the car and its a mm too big, emailed the seller who said i have to slightly sand down the grill where the badge goes to get it to fit. alternatively you could trim the badge down a little..
so anyone who wants it can have it for £7 delivered

£15 here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-RED-CHROME...ayphotohosting

It's normally inches that get increased in size, not mm's

Moving on......

What's it made from?

Have yoiu tried using the 1mm number plate pads to stick it on with?
That way the small amount of gap created by the pads may be enough to allow it to fit.
i did this with the Xpower ones on ebay & it worked a treat

Ive been reliably told these badges are cheaper from old dealerships, circa £10.
