claireharding Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Have an 04 350z. Today I had my front badge nicked! Although I rang Nissan and assured them the car had a z badge on the front - not a nissan banner - they say I am mad and it cant be so- despite me trying to explain I doubt kids would want a nissan badge but a 'Z' badge yes!!! I bought the car at 4 months old. Can anyone give me any history on these badges and perhaps help me get a replacement. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 claire the Z badge is a aftermarket replacement. There are a few differnt ones but this is the popular one. Whovever had the car before must of changed it. If you look at http://www.funkystyling.co.uk/item_deta ... =449002536 , Chris there has some in stock. If you talk to him nicely he might do you a bit of forum discount. Send him a PM. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/profile.p ... ofile&u=48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam's Z Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I've got a bog std nissan one if your interested??? Hope the little sh*ts didn't leave any scratches!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
claireharding Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 Thanks Liam- I guess replacing it with the nissan logo would prevent it happening again but I think I will check out these replacement ones! Unfortunately yes they obviously prised it off in a hurry and have left gouges either side. I am keeping my eyes peeled for a teenage skateboarder with a 'z' on a chain round his neck and then......!!! Thanks though regards Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 only seen Z badges once in the last 6 months. Could be a bit of a wait on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

claireharding Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Hi there Is it the same design as the one I got from Funkystyling that Mike told me about? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Claire Confused - do u have a replacement badge? If so and if from FS - I can confirm it is a direct replacement. You need to follow the hair-dryer, dental floss instructions to remove - or you could note that, like my own experience, a flat-head screw driver does the job in about 20s flat with no fannying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
