    Wait. what?? The factory fitted your emblem upside down, or your dealer did it? Dear God, tell me it wasn't wrong from the factory. That would be the pinnacle of careless assembly.

    Thanks for the feedback. I agree that it would look better with a little more distance than just the width of the badge. I’ve received my badge just not my car…yet.

    You do have to ‘get over it though’, it’s just a car, assembled by robots and people :eek::eek:

    I don't remember where I got my flag emblem from, but it ruined very quickly (~1.5 yrs). The colors look faded, the red and green look like they have embedded water spots, and the white part turned a little yellow. The same thing also happened to another friend in my car club (I don't know where he purchased it from either). Did this happen to anybody else? I want to replace it, but don't want to buy another defective one.
    I uploaded 2 photos. The darker one shows the "yellowed" white section, how it looks in the sun. On the second photo, I used a flash, it automatically whitened the white part, but the stains on the red and green show up better.

    It might be parallax, but the right side looks like it has a larger gap than the left side!

    Parallax for sure. It was perfect.

    Nice job. Looks great. It really adds nice color to the car. I love the one that I installed on my 458 Spider.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login . Just noticed this problem with the plastic under rear spoiler. Not sure if this is part of the drs? Looks out of place anyway. That’s after I pushed it towards the slots as it was worse.

    Yes. The badge itself is fine. Just the red part has come out now on two badges.

    I had the exact same thing happen with mine. The first one just straight away fell out, Ricambi replaced it without fuss. A second time it came out when i was using the power washer at least 2 feet away, the water is basically air at that point but i got it at the exact right angle i suppose. When washing the car now i put a little piece of painters tape over it and havent had any issues since

    Has anyone put a badge on over PPF? I really have misgivings about doing that.

    I did on this one and my last. Why the hesitation?

    Ok sounds good. I worried that if it pulled off would it screw up the PPF somehow. If you did it and feel good about it that’s enough for me. How did you measure it?
