i know where it is, somewhere in Wales on the A470, or perhaps the A494, but can't say anymore accurately than that :(

so has anyone out there got a NSX sized front Honda Badge? any colour is better than i have at the moment, i'm not expecting anyone to have a charlotte/brooklands green one, but it would be amazing if you did!

what have you got before i go to honda???

.... or put a transformers badge on it,


ta!

Which style do you want?
I have a later 02+ style - they are not expensive new from Honda and I'm pretty sure I have an early silver filled one too which would need a bit of polishing and obvs a colour change for you.

didn't even know the later had a different style!!! i take it later ones are a generic open honda design and the early nsx specific to match the colour.....


if you have an early one spare.....

is it an early closed or late open style?

next question for those with facelift rear lights.... what is the size of the rear badge that's on the outside of the lamp??

i ask, as was pointed out on the pancake run, my jdm rear centre section internal badge is going a bit odd....

i could keep it as art, or i could make a chrome vinyl sticker, but that would look cheesy!! so would a later badge cover it nicely.

the one in my light is about 57mm high, and 69mm wide.....

i could get a replacement centre bit, of course, JDM are a darker red and if i get a new one that'll make the lights look old, and so it would snowball!!!

Can you not separate the centre section and remove the chromed part - a la early Type R?

There are two sizes of 'unfilled' Honda badges for the NSX as far as I know. The one that goes on the nose cone is larger than the one for the rear light cluster. I have both so will measure for you later.

You can have the Silver badge whenever you want it, must be a mini meet soon.... I'm not at Silverstone but if anyone local to me is going, maybe they can take it for you.

Hi Steve, I'll pop it over one evening when convenient....

Jonathan - Un-filled Honda badges I have are the following approx sizes: 90x75mm and 80x66mm.

Another option would be to put the red filled Type R or Civic badge over the top, seen that done before.

found a badge of unknown origin on the e-of-the-bay, 71mm x 59mm... possible Accord.....

anyway, cheap enough to take a punt, so got it, seems to do the trick!!!!
