Hey guys. The front jaguar badge on the s2 isnt looking the best anymore. I would like to take it apart and refurb it, is that even possible? If not which is the best replacement for it?

The front badge along with the steering wheel badge (and also the S3 hub cap badges) were made by Fattorini & Sons of 33 Barr St, Birmingham. The badges were made of clear plastic, embossed from behind with the motif, gilded with gold leaf, enamelled and painted with a grey protective layer. The reproductions however which are a poor facsimile of the original, although you only really notice when they are side by side- unless the differences are pointed out to you, in which case you will never rest!
Doubt you can refub one unless you have access to specialist tools and gold leaf. Get a reproduction one from SNGB or eBay (~ £30) or set up a search on eBay and see if you can bag an original. They are not the same as the S1 which is round.

You can purchase aftermarket badges of Adamesh or Emblem Mart. I think so.
