They're quite nice. A bit hard to tell in the photos. I wouldn't be too upset whichever tbh!

sorry, missed that, was distracted by Tera Patrick's a$$ in JayBeeOnline's avatar
:wow:

How did you know it was hers? (who I've never heard of) and scared to "google her ass"

 

[stuartmunn]

these chrome ones look miles better than the originals which look a bit cheap to me ...

Damn that's nice! Gotta get me some of these, but I'm planning to get carbon mirror covers so is there no badges with carbon fibre background??

But does move away from the Alfa tradition of the QV being on a white background.....if that matters....

 

[micsanderson]

I used to think that mattered. After seeing these pics, I've changed my mind. How did you get the old ones off without damaging anything? Thanks

So silver is the new white ?

Quite festive though.

I used the 1cm wide tape (the stock ones are exactly 1 cm above this cruve Giulietta has). The stock ones are 7,2 cm from the door. I also used this distance but I also used the feeling - they should start together with this white light below the QV badge.

Alfa think the same as you, enlarge image 7 of 9.

They are factory fit, no bulletins about changes so not sure when they changed or this one is a one off,

 

[Tirreni]

When did you get your QV?

Go to page 1 of this thread and scroll down to DeP 's post.

Hope that helps

Hope these are a touch better, it’s quite difficult to remove enough reflections so they don’t look white in images

The badges are fantastic aren't they? There was too much contrast with the white ones on my white QV. The white ones would probably suit other colours more in the range though. I'm very pleased I changed mine. I never liked the white ones!

I think these would look awesome on Etna black next to brushed mirror caps I've got on the QV. If anyone can let me know how to get them off without damaging things I'd be greatful!

The best way to remove the badges is to heat them up with a hairdryer so the adehsive softens. You will be able to gauge it when the badge starts to move slightly. Then using fishing line or dental floss place in between the wing and the badge and pull down. It will take a little bit of time and the adehsive may need softening again with the hairdryer. Once the badge has been removed you can remove any adehsive from the wing using your thumb and then a good polish with Auroglym SRP. The final results are worth the effort!

It doesn't I guess. The brushed silver finish would look great with the QV mirror covers, and the they most certainly look great on the white G's.


But for me it gets a bit OCD. All my Alfa Quadrifoglio Verde diecast models have white background, green cloverleaf. I am a fuddy duddy, and love the racing history of the brand, so even though the 'new' badges look better on the G...I am gonna stick with my white ones.

Each to their own, right?

 

[Tirreni]

I'm sticking with the white ones too - I do quite like them to be honest :lol:
