    Sline Badges

    Hi All, Was looking around my car today and noticed the Sline badges on the front and rear are faded like mad. Is it just me or think the rear one should be on? And the front one should be clipped on rather than stuck? The one's on the sides are fine so guessing some one has stuck these on. I...
