(im prolly posting this in the wrong spot i know

)

Okay, so some terribly oh so nice person went out of their way and decided to steal my front n back mazda badges today while it parked at the shopping centre where i work.

As one might imagine in not a very happy jan right now. Ive had a lil look round but I was wondering if any1 might have any suggestions as to where I may get myself a coupla new ones?

Thanks!!

Which Astina do you have? It matters as to the size and whether or not you have the flying M or Sphincter logo.

Gav.

Joczy · 23-02-2006, 07:19 PM

They were the flying M's & they are bout 65mm by 55mm. I have a 98 hardtop.

bourbon · 23-02-2006, 07:33 PM

youll really only be able to get them from wreckers theyll charge and arm and a leg...

or go genuine...and theyll charge an arm and a leg as well

ATOMIC · 23-02-2006, 07:34 PM

The easiest way out is to go badge someone elses 98 hardtop for theirs !

Or you can ring up mazda aus and see what they say. Either way will work in the long-run

EDIT: Search Ebay for some form of portable Ninja then SUPARGLUET them to your badges. Works wonders for me

Theft is wrong. Theives are scum.

The only worse people are murderers and rapists.

chicaboo · 24-02-2006, 07:33 AM

I think Terrorists, drug trafficers and animal abusers, etc would slot in there somewhere above theft too...

Yeah, so badges cost a lot, that's why yours got stolen, it's just one of those things. I've had an exhaust tip stolen before, how pathetic is that???

Ian · 24-02-2006, 08:13 AM

terrorists = murderers glorified (in a sense of the word)

Drugs are a personal choice... Theres no malice in drug traficing, just greed.
Animal abuse is bad, but not as bad as theft.

Rupewrecht · 24-02-2006, 12:21 PM

I have a vague recollection they were some ridiculous price from mazda ($100+), as at one point in time i was going to upgrade from the Sphincter to the Seagull.

Try a wrecker, that'd be the cheapest option

Mad Mat · 24-02-2006, 01:00 PM

i have a couple of badges. what do they look like. i might be able to get some.

Rupewrecht · 24-02-2006, 01:23 PM

The Sphincter

The Seagull

skippy · 24-02-2006, 01:26 PM

Doesn't someone have a Mercedes style mazda one for sale?

And i think corrupt politians should be up the very top of that list as well, they sow misery on a mass scale (ask any African).
And theives should be on a scale stealing food is one thing stealing someones else badges so your car looks better is pretty dam low indeed.

Joczy · 24-02-2006, 01:37 PM

Thanks for the replies guys.

Dang, Rupewrecht thats expensive hey. Yeh I was leaving it as a last resort the contacting Mazda business. I have the flying M's, seagull whatever they may be called ones haha. Atomic sent me alink of a place near where i work and they had diff badges going for bout $20 each i think they were. But when i contacted them they said they never get Mazda ones.So off to the wreckers im thinking.

They scratched a bit of the paint work getting the back one off too grrr
haha it was over 24 hours ago now, maybe i should calm down lol.

Mad Mat · 24-02-2006, 02:48 PM

i have a 1 of both badges if u need them.

Mad Mat · 24-02-2006, 03:47 PM

and i could get some more.

BJ BoI · 24-02-2006, 04:46 PM

I recon you should take the oppitunity to de-badge the parts? just my suggestion, esspecially if you have to end up going through mazda and getting charged a fortune! just my thoughts :P

pr1mo · 24-02-2006, 05:15 PM

nah the front of the hardtop has a grille that looks funny without the badge

Rupewrecht · 24-02-2006, 08:43 PM

So you remove the grille as well

project.r.racing · 24-02-2006, 08:52 PM
