Modern Vespa

very basic question but... I just bought a new p200 emblem (previous one fell off or got pinched)...what is the standard or best way to attach? Glue? thx.

3M Emblem Adhesive. Available at most fine automotive stores or through amazon.com

p200 emblem should have two posts that fit in holes on the side of your spare side cowl. there are two metal clips that attach to the posts on the emblem inside the cowl.

metal clips? ok. wish the retailer would include that with the emblem....cant cost much and i would have paid the dollar. thx.

arnt the backs of the "posts" mushroomed out to hold it inplace .... dont remember clips on them

id go 3m tape

I got my P200E emblem from ASC and it came with 2 clips already on the little posts.

You can find the clips at a good hardware store (read: not home depot).
Look in the bulk fasteners section.

Cut the tips off if they're on there and glue it on. If you ever need to take them off run a length of dental floss between the emblem and the paint and it comes right off.

i was thinking if i got a small enough drill bit i could drill thru the little posts and put a cotter pin thru there as well as the clips that come with it.....

I would be absolutely astonished if that worked. They're just plastic.

Why not do it the way it was designed? Plenty of P's have kept their emblems on without a problem for decades. My '74 Rally still has the rear badge attached in this way and its not even loose after 36 years. The clips cost about a quarter at any decent local hardware store.
