thanks for the reference to the hi-mileage badge, I'm gonna go and get mine...

but...sniff...

...my 'TURBO' emblem has come off. Well, I have the chrome bit, but the foam-sticky-back is just rotted away. Would y'all be so kind as to offer suggestions? Do I just glue the thing back on? Do I order another emblem thingie?

thanks
tami
see sig for model of car...

Ewww- you mean they glue on on a W124?

I think I used contact cement for a similar badge on my VW. It has held 10+ years. You probably don't want to use anything too permanent in case you want to paint it someday.

double sided tape

If it doesn't say diesel on it, it doesn't matter.

If you have a nearby or within driving distance auto body supply shop, they can give you the correct emblem tape for it, basically just double sided tape, only a bit more durable for being out in the environment. You could probably find a body supply online with it as well.
