Added Lotus Fender Badge

I would also take 2 of them

I installed a fender badge that I made myself.
I made the badge 3 inches wide, but it feels a little big.
When I have time I'll make it a little smaller.

 

[Tod]

The size looks appropriate to me. Maybe provide a picture of the entire car. That will provide a good perspective.

Playing with the Donkey Badge.

Went a bit more subtle. I found the fender needed something. Decided on an RS badge in black to break it up.

I like the wheel protects way more than I should. My car is dark verdant green with yellow calipers. I wonder if a yellow ring around the black wheel would set of the green a bit more?
Dou you have a wider view with whole car.

Here is a pic from the summer. The wheel pinstripes are just quarter inch vinyl. I have 2 different rims on order but here is one of them in blue and another in satin gold.

Nice pics…thank you for sharing!

I agree with cooments that 3 inch may be too large, but i like your design. if you made them smaller and offered them for sale, i would buy 2.

Do you have a better picture?

[LuckyDog125]

Thought this was pretty cool!

 

[F1 SML8R]

That would look pretty cool, in a different color though. I just added Union Jacks on each side.

 

[Tod]

Nice, I like that. Where would one find that?

 

[Racer X]

To have a fender badge, say a Union Jack is one thing, but a yellow fender badge, I think, is uniquely Ferrari.

I'm sure Ferraris are great cars, but to me, looking Ferrariesque has many negative connotations that screams out:
(a) I'm stinking rich, and
(b) I had to suck up to the dealership, and pass the interview to convince them that I'm "worthy" of owning such a "prestigious" brand.

I think there’s a bit of overthinking going on here. Yellow fender badges aren’t some exclusive Ferrari signal—they’ve been part of Lotus design language for decades.
Timeline-wise:

• 1950s–60s: Yellow and green (British racing green over a yellow roundel) was iconic for Lotus F1 cars. That yellow was part of the brand’s motorsport DNA long before the “Ferrari yellow” association became a thing.
• 1990s–2000s: Special editions like the Elise Type 49 and Type 72 paid homage to Lotus racing history, often incorporating yellow badges or accents.
• Modern Lotuses (Evora, Exige, Emira): Yellow center caps and even fender badges have been seen, especially on cars paying tribute to the heritage liveries.

So when you see a yellow badge on a Lotus, it’s not a Ferrari wannabe move—it’s a nod to its own roots.

And really, some people are so wrapped up in brand politics they forget: it’s just a car badge. It’s not a statement about wealth, status, or dealership rituals. It’s just a detail that looks good and has history. That’s enough for me.

I actually want to debadge my car, just to make people even more curious about what car it is.

I think the badge on the fender is great, if that is your thing.

 

[Tod]

That is an interesting idea. Most people that see this car don’t know what it is. I’ve had people assume it’s a McLaren, Ferrari or some other sports/super car. My belief is 70-80% would fall into this category.
