I would use this stuff: 3M Craft Mount Permanent Adhesive but can't find a link to stickists - I got some in a B and Q when I was doing some fancy presentation at university, worked a treat and doesnt suffer from spiders-web issue Chris mentioned!

[QUOTE] I would use this stuff:

I was thinking about using 3m spray mount/photo mount. We use it at work when putting presentations together. I know it's very sticky, just worried about it having an adverse effect on the foam that backs the material. I have enough of it, so guess it will be trial and error!

Wil post some pics when finished

I wouldn't mind a decent black plaque or even alloy to replace the original one which the dealer fcuked. Could even have the 4 digit limited build number on. thumbsup

It's just the original one but I used some enamel paint and a lino-print roller to apply some black paint over the top. The hard rubber roller means no black paint gets into the badge and logo bit. I'm sure there are better and/or easier ways to do it though.
