Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I’m in the process of fitting a new Carrera badge, it’s Matt black as it should be on C2, wasn’t keen on the gold one fitted and I think it was badly positioned so didn’t want to take measurements from it. How high should it be positioned from engine cover bottom edge?
Currently at 61mm, what do we think?
i got it from here -
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/273652-badge-placement.html
it seems theres no actual "right" answer as some may be on teh high position and others on a low position..............
Thanks again. There’s a comment on there suggests 50mm from lid edge is right height, but like you’ve said it seems to be a variation over the years.
I’m probably over thinking it!
I believe they changed the position from high to low at some point during the 996 run.
Early car....
Later car...
Mine is Jan 2001 and is in the low position.
Gen 1 C2/4 is in the upper position, unless a wing was fitted from factory, in which case the badge would be fitted in the lower position.
Gen 2 C2/4, Turbo, the badge is fitted in the lower postion.
C4S badge in the upper position (obviously).
GT3 badge in lower position.
Spacing guides are available from Porsche (Google). Mind you, if you’re sticking non-standard badges on then factory badge spacing becomes irrelevant, because the wrong badge can’t be in the right position
I'm in the process of replacing my Carrera 4 badges on my 996.2. It was always placed far too low. Does anyone know where i can find measurements of where this should be placed?
Reading this thread, it should be in the lower position, but i need measurements if anyone has them or fancies measuring for me?
Thank you
@Interference Fit

I was thinking of leaving it without badge, but this area looks bare.
Would it be sacrilege to just put on the Carrera badge without the 4
I have a Singer style "PORSCHE" decal that i'm in 2 minds whether to fit to the back - but if i do that, i'd need to remove the original Carerra 4 badge as it would be too much
