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 ![]()

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

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!
