Vitesse6 Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 hi, I finally want to get around to getting the correct badges on my Vitesse 6, does anyone have a pic of the correct ones for this car. In particular I would like to know what should go behind the fuel cap, is is a short bar or flags? Also on the wings. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vitesse6 Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 hi I have a 1965 Vitesse 6 convertible and wonder if you can help me with what should go in the holes at the side of the front bonnet, was it a Leyland badge? I managed to get the short piece of trim for the rear wing but is it only held by one rivet, if so how does it stay in place? many thanks Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitesse6 Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Also if you need some chrome trim https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355502314276?chn=ps&_ul=GB&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=355502314276&targetid=1814673648462&device=m&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006664&poi=&campaignid=19089547614&mkgroupid=142438599285&rlsatarget=pla-1814673648462&abcId=9303859&merchantid=116592374&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwo6GyBhBwEiwAzQTmc6tAnrmMfpbuYYOF4rc-N3eC2gOI-pxIAOKANMCKjVB6P5BiRoeNRRoCjIYQAvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't remember any badges on my 1600 apart from teh Triumph across the front. I would check, but the car is back in storage for a few weeks. The short trim piece should have a captive rivet attached, plus a clip/rivet atatched to the body, giving you 2 fixings. Plan B is to you could use a flexi sealant eg sikoflex/tigerseal. Or even double sided foam tape, as used on modern car badges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
