I've a new-to-me 2002 9.5 with a disfigured hood badge. What's a good,
cheap source for a replacement, please?

Thanks,

M

Other than a dealer, Saap specialist, or eBay, no ideas.

Yeah; If you have a good dealer it should cost only a few bucks

Best $5 I ever spent. Withstands Canadian winters, where the orig. is
chipping away quite easily.

Bonus: you don't have to finagle with taking the badge off the hood and
glue it back = more time for Miller!

I'm not sure a "SAAB Scania" badge ought to be applied to a car as new as a
9-5 :)

It's correct for a '99 9-5. The -Scania was dropped here (US) for 2000.

Well, I never! :o As late as that? You learn something new every day ...
That'll teach me for my emblem snobbery :)

The Airplane logo is still the coolest.

Tell me about it ... I keep missing out on eBay purchases. They really shift
for good money over here. I think it might be cheaper to buy the actual car
with the emblem fitted than then emblem alone!

Still, white stickers are a good second best, eh?

Hm. I've got a milling machine, maybe I should make a pantograph so I
can copy the ones I have, in Stainless Steel.

I've got one just like that, oddly enough. Wonder how that happened?

Miller? In Canada? Okay, whatever, never mind about that... what, you
just stick these stickers right o'er top of the quasi-embossed deal
that's already on the car? sounds like it would look, well, cheesy.
No?

Hey, I was just trying to speak american ;) - I just cleaned the chipped
paint, wiped the badge with acetone to degrease the surface, made sure
it's dry and applied the sticker.

It looks like the original and I'm pretty demanding at how my wheels
look like...of course, if you're in the business of putting your hard
earned $s in the dealers' pocket, there's always that route.

Try www.saabstuff.com, they're out of Texas and can get the stuff quick
and reasonably priced.

No more calls, we have a winner! Ben's suggestion of going with the
stickers offered by Swedish Motors (www.swedishmotors.com) in PA was
all that and a bag of chips, like we say in Putney. It was under $10
mailed, and they do offer the current logo - red griffin, gold crown,
silver SAAB - as well as the SAAB-SCANIA badge that they show on the
web site. And you really have to get right up close to see that it's
not the painted badge.

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Michael Hudson
