Hi Guys, First I would like to thank all for there advise on how to tackle this job.

I am still waiting on the customer supplying a set of badges as the car doesn't currently have them. The wing in the initial picture was purchased second hand.
Anyway I have been playing with this in my spare time. What I have done is make a mould using body filler.

I then cut two pieces of 3mm steel plate and bent them to the curve of the wing luckily the wing is dead flat front to back around the recess. I used the mould to cut the recess out of one of pieces and then welded the plates together.

I will refine the hammer form once I have the badge. Rick your point about the variation of these badges has been noted. In the mean time I have done a test piece.

If you look at my test piece it has curled up around the edges of the panel.

Could anybody please tell me should I stretch the panel prior to shaping in the hammer form to give me a little extra material when shaping ? Any other tips would be appreciated.

Scott
