Front Nose Badge wanted

PostPost by: mjbeanie » Sat Mar 30, 2024 1:23 am

Hello all, I'm looking for a very nice presentable "LOTUS" front nose badge, OEM p/n 026B0269. A photo of mine is attached. My example has an unfortunate repair from a previous owner, -that isn't great. Please advise if you may have one in good shape, that you no longer need. (The center to center distance of the mount studs should be 1.5" ) Thank you, Cheers
MIke

Thanks Gary,
Yes you are correct. However I just returned my recent purchase back to Dave Bean. It was not a good copy. The studs distances were off, so it did not line up with the existing holes, and the overall quality was surprisingly poor. I expected better, as the item was fairly expensive. Based on this experience I thought I would reach out to the community.

I had two reproductions, one returned for the same reason.
The second a bit cheaper, but still not great $45USA

I too will be on the hunt for a better (dont care colour) but would prefer the racing orange under green.

Edit; forgot to complain about the poor quality under the L
