The day before the big end went in the coupe, I got my custome gell badges in the post.

Here's the real badges next to the new gell ones

The two designs I did in MS Paint that the guy used to create them.


The guy is HEKO UK, O think it's jsut one polish guy working from home, but he's damn good. First found out about him from a freind, he's done a selection of custom gell badges for him.

One for his mitsubishi, and two for his subaru.

They're a gell coated, cut vinyl, the chrome one's I've had done are a little more expencive than the normal ones, but I think they're so worth it.

I jsut want to know what you guys think, and hopefully inspire you!

But now, all my plans have been scupered by the shell going bang, now they're goign to sit in a draw until it's fixed. =/

£10.36 for the rear badge and £24.86 for the centre caps, yes it's probably alot of money, but I've convinced myself they were worth it, or would have been if they'd been fitted.

Very Nice - good work!
Get the stickers on the center caps and on the wheels at least so we can see them smile

That's ridiculous, if I can understand the intention of that FATI rearange...

"Fiat?! Is that a car?!..." seems to be the general feeling in the auto industry and market. I think that's one of the reasons why many (most?) owners aren't "proud" of their Fiat's. And, instead of assuming their likes, they remove the stickers or badges that mention the brand. FIAT.

Does it look better? Yes, sometimes it does, as it does in cars of other brands. But does it contribute to improve this modest italian brand's owners "self-esteem"? Don't think so. Plus: some read it as a sign of shame. "It's a good car. Too bad it's a Fiat..."

Sorry, it's just my opinion. I'll stick... with the stickers!
