Bought two new Honda red badges for the 4th gen as front bumper hasn't got one and boot badge has faded really badly. What's the best stuff to stick new badges on with?

Where could I find that? Are stick pads any good?

Go to Halfords or a motor factors, buy some adhesive pads for number plates.....they are super sticky. Just cut them down to size, that's what I've used on both my Prelude and Del Sol.

Didnt actually realise that they had a sticky back on the badges!!

I did use the number plate badges for the one that didnt quite fit the original holes and it worked a treat. Cheers mate

If they're the cheap plastic eBay badges, don't expect them to last long.
They'll fade as soon as the sun comes out and fill up with water as soon as it rains.

Ahh bugger some one had to put a downer on my new shiny red badges

Oh well, for £7.99 I'd buy them every few months!

perhaps you could give them a coat of hammerite and they may last a little longer?

I've never seen hammerite laquer before? Hmm interesting. If they did I'd be doing my whole car to make sure it doesn't rust!
