This solution eliminates the need for drilling holes and interfering with the sheet metal structure, which is particularly important for maintaining anti-corrosion protection. The profile of the letters and their spacing are matched to the factory layout, facilitating correct positioning during installation.

• an aesthetic finish for the rear of the bodywork after body and paint repairs.

For vehicles that have been in an accident, repainted, or had their trunk lid replaced, installing the correct emblem is a simple way to restore a tidy, factory appearance. This is particularly important for cars where maintaining the original visual configuration is crucial.

Application in Service Practice

It facilitates the completion of body repairs in accordance with factory standards, without the need for using aftermarket parts of uncertain shape or quality.
