Default XR8 Badge placement?

Would someone mind doing some measurements on the placement of the XR8 and Tickford badges on the front guards for me.

I really would like to get them in the right spot.

Any tips would be helpfull as well

Thanks
Deeno

Excellent!
Thanks for that.

Do you think the polish should be stripped?

Yes, wax and grease remover first.

Might I just add that there is no real 'spot' that was used all the time, even at the factory they used to just slap them on where they looked right. I have seen some on brand new cars that looks like they were doing it with their eyes shut :

Personally, I'd leave them off - having them on only encourages people to remove them for you, and usually with a screwdriver.
