I have a dilema........where do i put the Works badge which is fitted to the front of the car.
Ive seen a few pics and they are on the top front grill. I cant put it there because it would be hidden by the Spotlamps, so should it go on the bottom nearside as per the old Works?

KPKalle · Sep 13th, 2007, 02:13 PM

Washy is the only one I know with spots and JCW. I'll have the same question when I get the upgrade

Tony,

I think that is the best and most logical placement, and that is where it is shown on the 2008 Racer too.

on the lower grille, looks subtle yet dominating if your a poor 'car in front' and see that in the rear view!! haha!!

Washy · Sep 13th, 2007, 02:46 PM

I wanted mine on the lower grille....but there was a bit of a communication breakdown and I ended up with mine in the upper grille on the right hand side just inboard of my driving lamp...I will post a pic later.

Tonyrec · Sep 14th, 2007, 02:24 PM

Thanks for the replies...the jury is still out.

Tonyrec · Sep 17th, 2007, 05:23 PM

Finally decided on the lower nearside of bottom grille (just need the badge now)

A$H · Sep 17th, 2007, 09:08 PM

where can i get one of these badges from? i didnt get one with my jcw aero kit

DerekH · Sep 17th, 2007, 09:23 PM

A$H you don't get these badges with the aero kit only with tuning kit or of ebay or dealer for £50 Each not cheap

Mozza · Sep 17th, 2007, 10:43 PM

Putting the badges on a non JCW tuned car is just plain wrong anyway IMO.

Root Ginger · Sep 18th, 2007, 12:34 AM

If someone can get their hands on the official fitting guide it will tell you the exact placement for the badge including measurements. I remember this from when the original conversion for the S came out as some dealers didn't read the instructions correctly and mounted the badge on the drivers side (UK) instead of the passenger side of the front grill.

Streeters · Sep 18th, 2007, 09:13 PM

IMO top of lower grill as per mini challenge cars look subtle, offcentre and yet so right

Streeters · Sep 18th, 2007, 09:14 PM

Agree to that, if you dont get the badges with your mod, dont put them on

DerekH · Sep 21st, 2007, 08:54 PM

Tonyrec try this link this may be the official place but may not be the best IMHO

Cheers Derek

Yes it does seem like the proper place on the R56 but i think its better on the lower nearside (as per the older ones)

DerekH · Sep 21st, 2007, 09:28 PM

Have to agree there Tony but i think if you do not have the body kit it may look better on the bottom as you say nice black car on that link though

Tonyrec · Sep 21st, 2007, 09:32 PM

Yes very nice although im not a fan of the bodykit.........each to their own, thats why there are soooo many different cars around.

DerekH · Sep 21st, 2007, 09:44 PM

Tony i have to say i realy like the Skirts and black grill but skirts to expensive by them selves better value with the kit.
