Hi guys,

I bought last year a sticker to replace the peeled original Saab one on
the back of my 93, for about $5 US. It works great so far.

I need to replace the one on the hood now, but I don't have the web
address anymore.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please?

TIA, Ben

Before one of our more dogmatic friends jumps in and assumes you mean a
"93", rather than a "9-3", I should point out that the SAAB 93 was a vintage
SAAB from many years ago. The "9-3" is the more modern (late 1990s onwards)
car.

So back to the point in hand.

Your local SAAB dealer will be able to sort you out with one. I wonder
whether it was a myth that SAAB honoured the badge for life? Any replacement
needed and they'd do it. I'm pretty sure the bonnet badge should just be a
case of popping the old one off and pushing the new one on.

I'm sure one of our North American friends here will tell you about any
cheaper outlets, but I can't see a badge costing more than a few bucks.

I did actually write, "before our good friend Dave Hinz jumps in ..." at
first, but made it more generic in case any of our other dogmatic friends
got upset :)

I'll give you a head start next time ...

Actually, I think it's Martin's turn...Yes?

Thanks a bunch.

Yes. Definately.

I will admit that in 2001 I saw a 95 with a 9-5 badge, parked right in
front of the Trollhättan Saab plant, of all places. A 9-3 badge on a 93
might not look bad either.

I'd love to make some repro airplane logos for my current Saab.
Got the milling machine & material; lack the time.

I saw a C900 recently with the airplane logo in vinyl placed at the top of
the windscreen in front of the rear-view mirror. It looked excellent. I've
got a good vector graphic of it to pass to a sign maker at some point.

There's quite a trend over here for losing the middle bar on the C900 grille
and having a large mesh "face" up front. I bet a vintage marque badge would
look just right in the middle of that kind of grille.
