Go badges on the F56

Has anyone fitted a Go badge to their F56 S?

I may try one on my Justa, but I'm not sure I'll like the look with the big grill slats.

Looks good...does it touch the trim? It looks like the fit is tight almost perfect fit.

Having it all the way over to the left as I do it does just barely touch on the very bottom; the fit is about spot on. I have been checking it though periodically to see if there are any marks from rubbing on the trim and so far there are none. If I were to shift it to the right though I don't think it would touch at all.

Looks good on mine. But I am using a darker colored badge currently, I think a bright color might look a little "off"

GoBadge Question

I just fitted my go badge this afternoon on the car, and the car's grille was warm to the touch. This got me thinking, has anyone noticed any discoloration, or residue left from the rubber backing area(s) of the go badges on your grille (especially to those with a base F56), due to the heat from the engine?

If so, are there any precautions I should be taking (like placing another backing to it before installing), to prevent marring to my car from the GoBadge holder?

Finally, my go badges also came with a zip tie, have anyone of you used the enclosed zip tie?

Thanks so much!
