The front grille of my Vx220 is de-badged. It's just plain black.
It looks good but I was just wondering what I could put on it to 'brighten it up' (something like - a small badge in the corner)
Any suggestions / ideas? ...has anyone got any photos of their's? Also, how to fix it on?

I put a vintage Fury badge on mine in the bottom right corner. cant uplod pics for some reason (used my attachment space??
). I think it looks ok but i may actually put my Vauxhall badge & V back yet (painted black) not decided. Seems just a bit bare with nothing in the middle. Saw pics of someone using Ferrari badge which kinda looks good but bit 
really?Lotus badge?
hehe

I'm probably going to do the rear vauxhall and VX220 badges in black too, seeing as the previous owner MUST have taken the badge off before, took it off the other day in about a minute with a credit card and it was all scratched underneath.I'm debating doing the V and badge black and putting it back on... looks too open mouthed without it.

Shame its wet and just getting constantly wetter! 5 weeks without is a long time! Poor u! Poor her!
I took mine for a spins in pouring rain at night the other day just because i was sick of not driving her! Fun but not the same.
Glad i got the HID 55w conversion though or it wouldn't of even been possible before!

Funny.
Even though there are hardly any on the road (i only saw 1 on a 5000 mile road trip) and are almost perfect. We still insist on making them our own! Molding them to our needs. Shame it dont work like that with the wife

We do... Handbags, dresses, shoes, oh and naughty underwear!
All are mods of a sort... Some are for show in public and some are to make them perform a little faster!
And know I await the backlash of either YorB or Alim!

How is that fixed on? And where did you get it? (I don't want to remove the one at the back of my Vx220)
