Exclamation v12 Badge on the S600.

Hi there. My father has just bought a 51 plate S600, the person who had it before had all the badges removed. My father wants to put on the S600 badges and the v12 badge. Know how to put on the S600 badge but not exactly sure how to put on the v12 badge. Have searched through this forum and google but can't find any pics of it closeup. So if anyone has got a pic could they please show post it here, thanks

The car is so cool as well, had a lexus LS400 before and thought that was good but this is something else!

stop lying you know it's a 430... haha jk. the v12 emblem goes on the beginning of the side impact strips on the driver and passenger doors. i'd recommend you just look for some s600's on ebay with one of the pics being a close up of the sides.

Just had a look on ebay.com and they have some there. Not proper pics but now I have pretty good idea of where they go. I didn't realise they go on the strips, knowing me I would of stuck them on top of the strips lol. Thanks for that

Here in England cars come out in around March and September. The car that comes out after March start with a '0' then end with whatever year it came out, if i comes out after Sept then it starts with 5. So for example if a car came out in March 2003, the number plate it would be 03 plate (usually in 'AB03 CDE' kind of format). My fathers came out after Sept 2001 so it would be it is a 51 plate. Hope that makes sense

Over here, the plates are in the format XX00 XXX. The first two letters are dependent on where the car is registered. The next two numbers as JazzG has said refers to the date its registered. The last three letters are random.
