Don't bother to do anything about it, if Saab doesn't want > the logo to be seen then why should you care? My old 1988 C900 had this problem ... Fortunately, it was a silver car and it looked really good IMO :) The badges are still available with the full SAAB/Scania logotype with Griffin if needed, or just the SAAB and Griffin logo. Carefully pop off the old badge by cushioning a long flat screwdriver on the bonnet and levering it off. It might be stuck on with a little double-sided pad. Once off, clean the area, apply a double-sided pad to the back of the new badge and press on, locating the two pins into the holes (self-explanatory, really). Voila! New car :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
