The Bright Red Center Cap Badge Growler MJB6249AA is the one
You need,its difficult to get and more expensive than other colours,,
There is another common red wheel badge ,but that one is RUBY RED
I had the taps broken on two new bright Red badges ,when they changed Tires.
Found Green badges good taps but only two ,so no use for them .
I put them in warm water
And carefully put a flat small screwdriver behind the inner coloured side of
The badge and the inner comes loose ,its taped.
because they come loose i could swap the inner coloured emblems and glue
Them back..

Looks superb and mean. Will the concept still have the same impact on other colors? Not sure how an entirely black grille and trim will look on a red car, or on my own zyrcon XJR, but you have the perfect color(s) for the upgrade and it looks awesome.
The "R" badge looks really phenomenal. It, like, changes everything to the front for the better of this already great looking sports sedan. I am doing the badge on the XJR, no doubt, and may add it at the front grille on my XJS, which has one in the back, following "XJS". I would happily explain the latter...

I love the updated look of the modern "R" on an x308 grill, great minds obviously think along the same lines I did the same along with shaving the leaper, the growler, added black mesh to the bumper opening, and painted the chrome bumper pieces to match. I also did a little bit of work out back matching so everything blends together. Sorry pics aren't great quality (edit, a bit better pics).
