Exactly! If I had an unchanged late model zed I wouldn't touch it but the fact it has already been changed renders the "it's a 2k zed, keep the badge" argument pointless. Either way, which ever you prefer is what you should choose. Is the bonnet photoshopped or is it new?
The different coloured badges... would best suit certain colours better than others. For example, if my Z had a red badge or gold it would look out of place. A new SILVER badge looks perfect and neutral. Glad you kept it!!! Peter
