Well you could either bolt it through the grille (with a piece of flat bar behind it and two small bolts through the holes) or put it on a removable chrome bar with other badges and only put it on the car when it's at show's or when you're showing off . Have a look on a lot of older classic cars and you'll see they often have a chrome bar between the headlights or across the grille for badges .

Thank's Allan .

A badge bar is like this ,

and you can buy clips like this on the right to fit the badge to the bar or bolt and clip like on the left to fit a badge directly to the grill .

Personally I like the idea of the bar so you can keep it in the garage on display (and clean) and only put it on for shows etc .

Edited to make image work ...

Mini porn ...

Allan , what sort of guarantee do you give that the new badge will look as good as the sports850 badge does now in 46 years :lol:

For those wondering it's just held to the grille with two short bolts and two "mudguard washers" from a supercheap pack behind the grille to spread the load .
