Mismatched badges

I have the DITKit. I have the front badge on the lower grill and the badge on the hatch.

If you have the Factory JCW Car (which has the badge that you have in your signature) then the door sills in your first picture have different badges.

Regards

Rschnikee is right. If you look at the badges on the door sills that were sent with the JCW Body Kit, they are different than the new logo. Check out this article at MotoringFile (JCW LOGO) The new logo is the one that will be on the front bumper,the boot, the steering wheel carbon fibre insert, the wheel centre caps and the brake calipers. The old logo is the one that is on the door sills. $35K plus for the car and they couldn't figure this out? Bad QC.

Oh, they figured it out. They had a butt load of old door sills to get rid of because they overestimated demand for that particular JCW "accessory" for the R53. They know people who buy the JCW cr@p for their new cars are price insensitive and generally just clueless. If a small percentage notice and care about the logo difference, they'll send out a few replacements later.
