    OK guys I can see the reason for calling the middle stripe purple now and after looking closer in different lighting conditions there is a definate hint of purple there.

    I have been doing some badges this weekend and took the oportunity to compare the original colours against the vinyls I am doing and I hope you can see how close a match there is from the picture below.



    S54 badges are now available so I will update the first post in due course.

        Happy to eat my words here. Had the car out for the first time in a while at weekend and made a point of looking. You're absolutely right, there's a lot more red in that middle stripe than I thought
        Not actually in the least bit fat

            The middle stripe colour is said to be, a mix of the 2 outer stripe colours combined.

                  It helps using hot water being poured over the old vinyl to loosen it and make it bendy as old one it very brittle and just kept coming off in little pieces.

                  And noticed the new one may be a bit big by 1 or 2mm?? As the original one had a small gap around the edge where u could see chrome?
                  The new one goes right to the edges, just saying from observation, not complaining ;)

                    Thanks for the feedback I will make minor adjustments for the next ones then. The main thing is are you happy with the colour match ?

                            Get them done, no point saving them for a rainy day!

                              After volunteering to be Acemans guinea pig for S54 badges I have received them back today and I am impressed, they look so much better, goes to show just how much they do fade!

                              Its only a phone camera photo shrunk to post easily but you get the idea of how much better they look...



                              Its a quick and easy way to brighten up your MC, highly recommend!

                              Thanks Ian

                                Thanks Ian for the endorsement, I must say the S54 badges do look good and I prefer them to the flat S50 badges but it would be so wrong to put them on my S50 MR.

                                Glad you like them.
