Hello everyone - I need a new nose badge for the Sprint.
But the prices between suppliers varies so much - almost 30 pounds. Is there a difference in quality or a UK supplier I should be considering?
Thanks all , Paul

Paul,
Easy for me to say, buy a good one and don’t tighten it down to much as whatever product used on the badge can crack/splinter.
I tried a cheap one years ago, total rubbish.

Can you add thin foam/rubber to stop debris buildup, also to aide tightening?
Born, and brought home from the hospital (no seat belt (wtf)) in a baby!
Find out where the limits are, and start from there

+1 re quality, pay for it, then put a blob of silicon behind the badge and use nylocs with rubber washers, the silicon holds it the nylocs stops it from being nicked!!!

And, I do not use nuts to locate, I use rubber hose that fits the threads snugly cut to stud lengths. Can’t overnight and crack the porcelain. And, adds liteness.
