    Does anyone know where I can go to get those small, metal clips that attach to the pins on the back of the Pininfarina badge (or the Ferrari script on the decklid)? I ordered a new badge for the side of my Mondial, but it didn't come with those small, metal clips.

    Any good hardware store will have them.

    I just bought a replacement Pinin badge from Rutlands two months ago and it did not come with the clips. Do they owe me some?

    Just got home from Pep Boys and they had the clips in the "Help"/tools section of the store for a couple of bucks. These are the rectangular type and not the round type Ferrari used, but nobody will see them, so I guess it doesn't matter...

    If the FCA judges are surfing FChat, you're in trouble now. :(

    Ha! If they go through THAT much trouble to see them, then I'll be glad to surrender any points! It was a collosal pain to put them in! The rear suspension subframe and gas tanks got in the way. I had to jack up the car, remove the rear wheel (driver's side on a Mondial), remove the wheel liner, snake my hand between suspension sub-frame, and blindly find the pin for the Pininfarina badge. Wouldn't have been so terrible had the rectangular clips been the right size to begin with! :( I had to use pliers to flatten them out so they would pinch tighter, then push them onto the badge's pins (after a few grunts and curses.) At least it's now done!

    Sad thing? I think I liked the "clean" look of the Mondial without the badge! Oh well, the badge is on as the factory intended...
