Title: “Roadster” badge location on the rear lid
Post by: rajid on April 18, 2026, 22:27
Want to replace this on my car as it was missing when I picked it up.
Have a new badge now waiting to go on!

Does anyone have the correct measurements and notes as to where exactly it's stuck on?

It has the Toyota badge on the left of the lid

MR2 in the top centre of the bumper

And no badge on the right of the lid

If anyone's car has it in the original spot, would appreciate the measurements or some way to template where it's attached.

Thank you all!

Have a look in the what have you done posts or photography corner will be a pic or two of mine for reference.

Or repainted?

I'm going to respray the top half of my bumper and looks like I'm going to have to remove the badges. I've taken photos of their current positions in case I decide to refit them.

Would correct positioning be that important? You're going to get it within a cm just by eye, surely.
I took the Toyota and Roadster badges off mine, just leaving the MR2 in the middle. In my mind, it's not a Toyota and definitely not a 'Roadster' - it's just an MR2. Anybody that knows what these cars are will know, and anyone that doesn't - well, meh.......

Just looking at the residual 'shadow' on mine - which I've tried & better tried to get rid of - the top-right corner of the R at the end of roadster is 350mm from the edge of the engine cover, and the bottom right of the R is 50mm above the swage line.
