    WTB: 2 vintage grill badges

    My 72E had 2 grill badges installed at some point during its life. I'd like to replace those with 2 interesting vintage badges - what is available? They were round and about 3 inches in diameter. 7BD02D4F-8200-4947-806A-9B254782DA34.jpg

    The most available and inexpensive badges are the S Registry badge - designed by our very own Chuck Miller (when he was a Creative Director at Disney) and the Nurburgring badge. The Registry badge is quite stunning. The N-ring badge is common, so perhaps “not” if you want something more unique.
    Search e-bay (beware of the cheap, fake ones offered from India!!!) or contact Jerry (typ901) who has an extensive collection.

    P.S. love the minilites on your Sepia Brown 911!

    Oops, understated your talent, Chuck! I have to say, it must be one of the most recognisable grille badges out there!

    I think that's overstated... At least by paygrade ....

    I installed the Early911S badge and a PCA badge! The Early911S badge is a bit too small for the unfaded circle so I may use that badge on another car. The PCA badge was the correct size. The PCA badge is about 3.75in in diameter and the EarlyS badge is about 3.5in
