I've always been in two minds about the S
badge. It is very prominent and slightly overpowering as it comes, but removing it draws attention to the bonnet close line (I think) which just looks a bit untidy.
Having said that I like the look of Rookwise's badgeless grill - and removing the chrome strips is a definite improvement whatever else is done (for me). I'm not sure how well it would work on a darker car, say, Imperial Blue, though
