Hi Folks, Just getting to know my spirit 3 and have just noticed the absence of the rear roof pillar RR logo badges. Should I have them? As most pictures of spirits do but some don't. Could anyone advise me on this and also where to obtain them from. Best Regards |

Hi Charles On my Bentley they do not stick on! they are screwed into a captive thread in the pillar ,there are 2 holes one is for location the other is the screw , then the badge sticks over the plynth.(see pic) Hope that helps Mike |

Hi Michael, This so confusing, I certainly do not have any holes on my rear pillars and am starting to wonder the logic behind some cars having them and others of the same model not. I think I had better leave it as is unless anyone can enlighten us of this anomaly. |

As a rule the owner could have what they wanted. Spurs usually had badges as standard. Standard wheelbase cars not. I would leave it as it is unless you want them, then get stick on ones. If you check on your build history it will probably say if fitted from new. Enjoy yourself with her. |

Not a Spirit, but my Shadow 1 has these badges. I know that a lot of cars do not. From photographs I have noticed that most cars with Everflex roofs seem to have these badges, and standard roofs don't. I don't know if that's just a coincidence. Perhaps if the buyer could aford an Everflex roof he could also afford the badges!! |

Bob, semi coincidence. Most long wheelbases had vinyl roofs. |
