Default Ford badges

I've been scouring the internet to find a way to get black/red OE style ford badges for my fiesta. I even e-mailed a couple places that custom make badges and emblems and they wouldn't touch it because of copyright infringement. I know honda makes different color badges, could I get badges like this through Ford, or does anyone know of an aftermarket vendor I could get them off?

That's borderline sacrilegious. The shade of blue Ford puts in the badges is a Trademark. I remember what a big stink there was internally at Ford when Jac Nasser wanted to change the shade to Australian Blue. I believe after he left it was changed back but I don't recall the name of the exact shade.

A few members have put gel overlays to change the color of the logo. Here is the website where they order them from:

Ford Badges - Gel Overlays / Online Shop / DMB Graphics Ltd - Officially Licensed by Ford Motor Company Ltd

When you asked for red/black, I wasn't sure if you wanted red on black or black on red

ford emblems

MK2 (2004-2010) badges fit the sedan.
MK6 (2002-2008) badges fit the hatchback.

Don't Waste Your Money!

They might look way cool BUT they don't last.

No matter how careful you are about installing the overlays, they eventually come loose. I think it's because of the curvature of the OEM badge. After a while the overlay starts to peel loose around the edges.
Mine didn't last a week

July 5, 2011 Telero and I met for coffee and he showed me his Fiesta. Including the overlay. It is still on and looking good. His Fiesta spends nights indoors, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Ive had my gel badge for about a month or two now in Canada Winter weather with outdoor parking and even though there's a finger-nails gap on the top my front and back badges seem to be holding up pretty good!

Wow, thanks! I'll buy a pair and see how they hold up. I don't suppose they have one to fit the badge on the steering wheel? And don't get me wrong, the blue oval is, and always will be the blue oval. But when I get going on a color scheme, I don't want a big off-color logo messing it up lol. At least i'm not de-badging it! Now that's sacreligious.

There's a different link you can click when your ordering badges that you can order steering wheel ones for.

I ordered 2 main sets that include front, back and steering wheel in two different colors and 1 additional steering wheel badge in a seperate color.

None of my badges on the outside or inside have come loose, and I was very concerned that because the fit wasn't completely snug on the outside top area....

Rummager's Yellow... (need a name!) is some snaps of my installed ones.. there's another post somewhere with some snaps of the ones not installed

Below is a break down of my order copied from an email.. so you can see what I got for my fiesta and which vehicle I ordered from

1 x Fiesta Mk6 ST/Zetec S 2002-2008 Gel OverlaysBlack - Yellow - £11.00
1 x Fiesta Mk6 ST/Zetec S 2002-2008 Gel OverlaysSilver - Chrome - £11.00
1 x Steering Wheel GEL Badge Overlay 58x22mmBlack - Yellow - £3.00
1 x Steering Wheel GEL Badge Overlay 58x22mmYellow - Black - £3.00
1 x Steering Wheel GEL Badge Overlay 58x22mmSilver - Chrome - £3.00

No matter what you choose best of luck!

Are those for the sedan or hatch? I know somebody mentioned that different sets fit different body styles.
