hey guys.. i get my car back tonight but theyre not gonna chuck the turbo badge on the back until i decide on the exact position i want, cause im not sure. the reason im not sure is cause my old one didnt sit perfectly in the factory position. can u guys post some pics of the factory position of it so i can print it out and take it down with me ?

I reckon the very first pic of the white one is the closest to the factory spec...the last one of the yellow one seems to close to the edge.

position in the 1st pic of the white one is way off i've owned many orig BT1s and the last yellow one is close to perfect position in all directions incl from the black boot strip Quote: Originally Posted by Unmarked Needs to sit like SCATRD. that one's too high and too far to the left Quote: Originally Posted by freEze_dK as i was saying that last pik of the bt1 is the rite place spot on, that's the factory position for them

lol this thread may seem silly but in reality it took me so long and 2 different badges to gauge up the position and have the thing in the right place!

Yeah ATMO I agree. aus880, personally I like how SCATRD's badges sit but the last yellow bt1's badges sit almost perfect.

so what.. uz recon the edge of the O should line up with the beginning of the indicator, and it should be, what, 10mm from the boot strip ? heres where my old one sat.. height seems about right but its way too far to the left huh Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Factory positioning is 1.5 cm from the black strip up. 1.0 cm from the black edge of the "o" to the end of the boot.

i think you should put a badge on the back of each head rest, just incase your passengers forget what car they're in.
