Quick question. Is it possible to change just the badge rather than the surround bit

Cheers,

 

[stefanocirillo]

Unfortunately not. I changed mine when got the respray and had a hunt around then. Its all one piece. Only thing you can do is buy a cheapo sticky one and put it over the top which is nothing short of sinful!

No, you destroy the badges if you try and pull them out of the 'wings'.

I got mine from here, seemed about the same price as ebay ones.

Seem to remember reading a thread about someone who removed the badge and stuck a 166 one in?

There you go .... (scroll down a bit)

Yep Wynne71 did it without too much effort.

Be careful when removing the nut inside the bonnet, if you use too much force you will snap the support that holds the nut in...resulting in it being a nightmare to remove (past experience).

Is the rear one a pain to replace, mine has a small chip on it and the screw on the back is a bit rusty so I'd like to sort this... Expensive???

I asked Ned (autolusso) nicely and he changed my front one while it was in for service

So, LazyMod, were the 3 nuts beyond you on a technical or stamina level?

 

[Alfa Vincent]

Neither, when you can have it done for you why worry
Bigger fish to fry and all that

PS. LazyMod doesn't work for me anymore

Full marks again to my supplying dealer (Guests of Knowle).

Called in tonight & showed the delaminating / discolouring badge to Mark in Sales.

One on order no bother

Majorly loving this Brera:inlove:

@Squadrone Rosso, did they just replace it under warranty? Mine is fading (front and back), and I wouldn't have thought to ask for that to be replaced FOC!

Western Glasgow changed mine under warranty no problem as the laminate was peeling slightly.

Resurrection of an old thread, but couldn't find any definitive answers during a thread search....

The front badge on my Brera has gone the common way of peeling/fading, so I wanted to replace it.

Ordered a new badge (just the badge itself) from eBay for about a tenner. It is an exact copy in size/desgin/colour etc and is sticky-backed.

Has anyone actually tried to prize off an old badge to stick on a new one? How easy is it? Techniques?

I'd rather take of the old one and replace it, rather than just sticking on the new one (which would stick out too far and just look wrong imo).

Any advice welcome...

Cheers.

See post 3, it will damage the 'wings' trying to remove just the badge

 

[MarcG]

Pretty sure Wynne71 did it for his 159.

There are posts somewhere on here.

Don't try and prize it out, you could try drilling two pilot holes slightly off centre and use some needle-nosed pliers in the two holes so you can twist it and hopefully pull it out. This is how I do them on the 156, but I've not done a Brera yet.

As just posted, my experience is to drill three or four 3mm holes in the badge very close together as a horizontal 'slot' and then grab with pliers, does not then damage the surround. The main thing to realise is that even after removing all obvious fittings you are trying to free the badge from a circle of double-sided tape which is not easy.
