Who sells the best cobra nose badge?

So far I've had two of these and neither have lasted more than 5 minutes!

The first one came from official AK bits suppliers S & J Motors (at Stoneleigh) - the centres of the B came out while it was being applied to the bodywork! This was closely followed about two weeks later by the entire outer red semi circles disappearing.
Total shite *ahem* ..........moving on.........

The next one came from Europa, looked nicer than the S & J one and has lasted all of 6 weeks. The centres of the B have now disappeared and I suspect other, rather larger areas of red enamel will follow. More shite!

How difficult can it be?! These things aren't particularly cheap either :angry:

And no, I don't use a pressure washer! The car is washed by hand with a leather only.

So, whose badge has lasted the longest and where the hell did you get it from?!

Re: Who sells the best cobra nose badge?

I had exactly the same problem with peeling enamel (Europa supplied). I now have had ones that I imported from Cobra Acc for five years and they look as good as the day I fitted them.
