Hi, I'm sure I've seen an article on here re the correct locating of the 944S2 logo on the rear of the car, I have tried searching without success could anyone point me in the right direction. Thanks.
 
Double sided trim tape trimmed with a razor blade will work but it will never look as good as a new badge.

18 months ago the S2 badge was £13 + VAT from Porsche and comes mounted on a tape with the correct spacing
 
Right job done,used 2 interior mirror adhesive pads cut into strips of 3mm and 4mm widths,and applied to the car using the template. Very pleased with the result.

Good shout, would be interested to see how you get on!
Thanks.
 
Keep a close eye on it, I would worry that interior tape will not be waterproof and you may lose the badge all together after a few showers. Trim tape is waterproof and designed for the outside of the car
 
I attached a piece to some metal and plastic and submerged it in water for 24 hours. No change just as good as when first attached. The material appears to be exactly the same as is on the back of the letters and the great thing is it is the same thickness,so you cannot see it when attached, and the characters are flush with the bodywork.

This was one of the questions on my "right let's find out as much as I can about my 944" list so might as well tag it on here...

My "S2" sits directly under the "44" whereas every other S2 I've seen whilst researching and looking for a purchase has the S on the end of the 944 and the 2 underneath and to the right (as per the linked thread above). Not aware it's had a new boot or a respray from the history so can't see why someone would change it.

I quite like it being "non standard" but just wondered why. Anyone else look like that?

Minw was wrong, and has no evidence of any previous repair. I think plenaty have had the badge replaced for cosmetic reasons, and back in the '90s there was a trend to de-badge cars. Largely in the hope that people would think your 320 was actually an M3, Clarkeson was pretty scathing about it at the time!

Here's a picture from the sales brochure showing the '2' on the line below, half way along the 'S'
