    Try Ebay. There's also a place called Blackhorse, I think. PM BigTex, he knows!

    Sorry about the theft. People suck sometimes!

    Black Bart's Emporium has most of the emblems, but truthfully Ricambi America's lightning fast response may be better, with a yellow horsie box included!

    This really truly shows me that every time I start to trust in general good human nature, I am setting up for a letdown. For crying out loud, you could just go buy a keychain or something if you want a horsie on a yellow background! It's not like boosting a mercedes or RR stand-up emblem.

    I hate to ask, but did it do much damage to the rest of the car when they ripped it off?

    How do you figure that? I've had my Mercedes badge stolen several times, once causing paint damage to the hood. How is that any different? Is it the price of the vehicle that makes the difference to you? Because if that's so, then I can point to any number of Benzes that are worth a lot more than a Testarossa. That's not even considering a RR.

    Sorry to hear about your badge/car. I hope it didn't cause any damage.

    Dude, someone sat on my hood at a party last month costing me $800 USD.....people are actively violent to what these cars "stand for' these days.....WTF that is, I dunno! LOL!

    I've also had acid poured down a window, cracked for the Texas heat, while I worked at the Hospital.....

    A badge should be cheap enough.....

    No, Peter, I just meant that the little Ferrari badge on a Testarossa (and I took it to mean the one in the front) is a visually & physically pretty small little flat piece compared to the three-pointed star or the flying lady.

    I have lost one or two MB stars, too - and this kind of vandalism sucks no matter what the price of the car.

    EDIT - maybe I am reading this wrong - he says "bonnet", so are we perhaps talking about the chrome Ferrari on the engine lid, or the Testarossa there, or maybe even the metal horse on the rear grille?

    If so, disregard - except I just hope it did not damage the car.

    Either way on mine both those have bolt stud mounting that'd have to be broken..I doubt the engine badge would come off in one piece!

    Mine bends when I catch it with a towel, by accident!

    Did the later cars use Emblem Film adhesive?

    Ebay is you best bet for buying stolen goods.

    C'mon ...I thought the same thing!

    "You stole a TR without a nose badge????"

    Don't tease a new guy, when he's down!
