Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My bonnet badge is looking sorry for itself! It is as if a clear coat on top has gone powdery. Thought I would try to rub down and them put new clear coat on. Question is what should I use to remove the crusty clear coat so that I don’t damage the “enamel” underneath?

POST 2Original post

This may be of help Faded Bonnet Crest / Badge Has anyone come across a faded badge like this? Seems as though the discolouring is on the very surface of the crest on the black parts, but almost as if the colour is present below that. Would be great if I could bring it back without buying a replacement - any ideas? . 911uk.com

POST 3Original post

The Chinese copies arent so hard wearing as a Porsche one, yours has lost all the black from PORSCHE as well as looking faded. You could try and polish it with Tcut and then infill the black but it might be easier to just buy a Genuine badge.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I think most of the black is hidden by excess polish! Would like to restore this original one if I can! Cost of a new one soon adds up - badge, gasket, securing nuts - £150 gone before you know.

POST 5Original post

If you want one like you have they are about £20, but you can see the quality you get!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

What makes you think that it is not original!

POST 7Original post

Many signs but mainly the horses tail is wrong, the STUTTGART is extremely poor engraving, look at the G and A they are terrible! The one in T8's post is a Genuine one, compare the 2

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Gosh, you could be right, I’ll have to take a close look at the underside fittings. Have a huge history file on car from new but no where mentioning that the badge had been changed, very strange. Thanks for that!

POST 9Original post

Could be right?.......................................

POST 10Original post

I once blew our some of the red and black 'enamel' on an OEM badge. I was waving a pressure washer at not even that close a distance. This one was definitely OEM since I bought that car from new lol!
