Does anyone know where I can get a boot and grill Sti badge for a StiV7 - only in Red NOT Pink. Why would they think we want pink on our cars????????????????.... afterall the sti finish on the engine is red, and logo stitching on seats in Red.

Any help appreciated!

Sorry to rain on your parade but, the 'pink' as you call it is actually cherry blossom which is the official STI corporate colour. It has some significance in Japanese culture. This gives the STI its identity.

Its like asking the England team to change their shirts to green because white shirts don't look butch enough.

If you take off the bonnet badge, you can remove the black paint from it with Wickes brush cleaner and a little rubbing, wash it, then respray from thr rear in pink, red, green, sky blue with dots ............
As far as the boot badge goes, I've not looked at one, but it's prob similar.
You'd be surprised how easy it is to fill a space roughly with a chosen paint colour, then rub off theexcess with T-cut for a professional finish. Let it dry first though! I did the centre caps on Scooby wheels and have been complimented on it.

Hello Phil, what do you mean by STIUk's not having an STI badge? I thought they did?
