zippypooz Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi all, a while ago i was looking into buying this style badge but soon realised that 1, it was extremely rare and pricey and 2, Tarmac Sportz had stopped selling their version of the badge. So i decided to create my own version. I've been working on this for some time, creating and recreating the badge until i was happy enough with it that i would put it on my own car...if i'd created something but wasn't prepared to put it on my own beloved zee then how could i be prepared to sell it to other zed enthusiasts. So, these are now going into production. I've had loads of positive feedback from 'in the flesh' views so i thought i'd post a couple of pics! Various colours will be available so that you can match the colour to your own car. The following colours are as photos below: Metallic red, metallic lime green, flip bronze/gold, metallic lemon Zting and reflective black (glows white)! These cost £22 delivered which i think is a great little mod at an affordable price! So, over to you... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy1980 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hmm maybe interested in a red one, what size are these in comparison to the standard Z after the 370 bit ? Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypooz Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 These are about 85mm long by about 42mm high. They replace the Nissan badge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Love the TK badges, so cool. Would be all over this if I still owned a z. So much better than the stock badge. Great imitative to make these for members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking into the viability of that as the standard front bumper is indented where the badge sits so ideally would need to be incorporated into the nissan badge shape, unless you just removed that and replaced with just the Z.

I’ve had to debadge on the back due to the wing just seats a little too close for my liking, but because your z had a flat edge at the top thought it might fit, so I take it that it fills the complete available space from the standard Nissan badge/ ring? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurez33 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 If they’re not too expensive though I’ll give one a go 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azurez33 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Zippy, does it use the original badge dowel holes aswell? as I’m currently using inaffective grommets to block the holes up atm, originally I was going to 3D print something but so busy never found the time to design anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypooz Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 It just covers over the top of them, they end up getting sealed by the adhesive on the back of the badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
