Hi there
Theres been some interest from this forum in the self-adhesive Cat badges I have made here in the UK.
I originally designed them to replace the oval Ford badge (as you know, the Cougar was marketed as a Ford Cougar here). The Ford oval badge is the same size both front and rear.
There were several reasons for doing it; Ford have stopped selling the Cat here, and in the main we owners are ignored, so de-badging was, for me a little get-back at them. Also, the Mercury Cat badge is far nicer than the Ford name badge, so I thought it might be a good idea. Seems lots of people agree.
They cost £5.50 through the forums, and will be more expensive when I put them on Ebay. Postage and packing will depend on where you are, but here in the UK I send them as first class overland mail, at standard rates, so anywhere in the world shouldnt break the bank.
Please feel free to ask me any questions. Heres a link to my webspace with some pix of the badges.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi Guys
Thanks for your interest.
The badge is a direct replacement for the standard oval Ford badge - and is approx. 3.25" x 1.25".
Heres a link which may help. Any questions, please dont hesitate to ask. OK?

Oh, and unfortunately, the price is in UK pounds, not Euros. I think the exchange rate currently is around 1.7 US dollars to 1 British pound.
Postage is reasonable here in the UK - I send them as letter mail. I will make some enquiries when the new batch comes in, and let you know on the forum. It shouldnt cost a fortune by surface mail.

Thanks Daniel.
You have a very pretty kitty. One cosmetic mod I would recommend is to change your side repeaters from the stock orange ones to either smoke or, as I have, black. (see below)

They didnt cost a lot of money - I bought them from our forum sponsor - Autostylin' - and they include orange bulbs so you can stay legal.
Of course, the only problem now is that your steering wheel seems to be on the wrong side!!

Those are so amazing. I'd really like a set, and infact I'm going to PM you right now.
As of right now, the exchange is 5.5 GBP = 9.83386 USD
