Anyone ever fitted a new badge to a new bonnet. I have the small black female lugs from Renault but it still won't fit properly????

So you have a badge with two plastic pins in the back, right? And they insert into the bonnet, or should.

Ah, just remembered, some have 3 pins.

I just fitted one a few days ago. I bought new lugs (3 in my case) and my badge just popped in. Check if your badge isn't broken.

I had more trouble with the rear "Clio" and "Renault" badges. Lugs are a really tight fit, and in my case didn't want to go all the way in without using brutal amounts of force that could damage the tailgate. So I used some pliers and "chewed" them up a bit and then they went in without any problems and badges all sit perfectly nice and tight.

Makes me jealous! The little black plastic female lugs (3 for mine too) fit perfectly on the back male lugs on the badge, but still too small for the holes in the bonnet. If that's how they should fit I think the holes in the bonnet have been made bigger at some point. Grrrrr
