Securing Rear Quarter Badges

[gerlewislewis 0]

i have some new 1.9 gti badges to stick on to my rear quarters, without pins.

 

Is silicon up to the job? if not what should I get?

hi ger, i used the thick double sided sticky pads from halfords, used to attach number plates. from memory it came in one big pad so i was able to cut it with scissors into suitable sizes. when i removed the trim last week to refurb they were a bugger to get off. i applied them over a year ago. hope this is of some help, pete.

you want to bond them on with sikaflex,thats what ive stuck mine on with,i also stuck my rear spoiler on with it and its solid

well, I did one side with silicon (cos I had some to hand), and ive held it in place with masking tape. I will see how secure they are in a couple of days.

 

I didnt get time to do both sides, but if the silicon turns out to be crubbish then I will try your ideas. cheers guys

Yeah, you'll be fine with Silicone, won't come off in a hurry.

Sikafex is great stuff I restuck my side badges on when I foolishly took them off to clean behind them ( I know I know)

well, silicon seems to have done the job. Where do you get silkaflex from for future ref? is it a homebase type stuff, or halfords? - whats its intended use?
