Has anyone changed the badge colour on their ZS ? Or know if it's possible to get off relatively easy to colour. I am getting a ZS soon & the only thing that gets me is the silver badge, would much prefer it in black.
Hi TootBeep - I've changed the colour of the badges on my current car and 2 previous cars using "Plastidip" which is a spray paint that dries into a sort of rubberised finish.Has anyone changed the badge colour on their ZS ?

Would be interested in seeing what you've done, sounds interesting. Are you able to post a couple on here?Hi TootBeep - I've changed the colour of the badges on my current car and 2 previous cars using "Plastidip" which is a spray paint that dries into a sort of rubberised finish.
If you search on YouTube, you'll find plenty of tutorials and you can either get the can of spray paint direct from them or the usual online retailer that delivers everywhere!
My current car is black and I got it de-chromed and did the lettering and badges myself, in black, and in my humble opinion it does make the car look better.
I can DM you some photo's if that helps?

Thanks for sharing, that does make quite a difference!Hi RHA - at the risk of getting a bit of stick from other members, here's some photo's, as requested. As you can see, my main car isn't an MG - the ZS EV is the wife's car and I've been told I'm not allowed to do anything, other than drive it when she doesn't need it!

I've removed the Arnold Clark sticker as well and the best part is that if I ever want to return the car back to the original chrome badge and lettering, the plastidip can be removed easier than if I had used 'normal' spray paint.

Thanks for sharing, think that looks really good ! I will probably go down the same route, when I get the car & get it done I'll report back ?Hi RHA - at the risk of getting a bit of stick from other members, here's some photo's, as requested.

Really interested to see the OEM badge in black!Apparently it can be done according to the dealer as they replaced a damaged badge on their demo ZS EV, I have ordered the new front badge in black, c£65, so we will see (when it comes …)
I am not sure if this would fit on the facelift ZS though will it?

Lucca, do you have a part number for the front badge in Black? Was the badge totally black, or Black Gloss, with Chrome emblem?Badge arrived in one week much to my surprise, seems to just clip in - will be fitting next weekend. Have ordered rear badge in black as well now.
