MG badges
I've bought some badges from this site before and I've been really impressed by the quality. I quite fancied getting the TF LE500 silver and black MG badge for my ZS.
They're available from his site ( http://www.something-magic.co.uk/) or via eBay.
I spoke to Marco, who runs the site, and he's told me he will soon be selling the silver and black TF LE500 MG badge in 59mm size suitable for the MkI ZS
If anyone has any further ideas, or suggestions of MG badges they would like, let me know and I'll speak to him, I've bought several different badges from him and the quality is excellent.

What size in mms is the rear badge? I'll email Marco and ask. I bought the X-Power script badge and it's good, been on my car for a while now with no problems.

It's not the size that's the issue, it's the rear profile. It is shaped to fit the boot curvature. It depends on how thick the badge is in order to dress it to suit if it has enough meat.

Maybe so but i can name many peeps from other MG Forums whos badges have flew off travelling along roads.
I do know these rust from the backside though 100%
I have seen them on 2 180s and they were in a serious state of oxidation and ironically they were under a year old.
The problem is they rust from the backside which is very worrying as its next to your paintwork.

All badges sold are made from base metals of either Zinc Alloy or COPPER unless otherwise stated, they have 0% iron content and will NOT rust. - this can be tested when you receive you badge and place a magnet near it - it will NOT stick proving there is 0% iron content.

Was this guy not on here for a while? I bought a few domed XPower badges and I have to say I love them!
I fancy that MG Xpower one... and it's a fantastic price!
