Hi, I've picked up a new boot badge for my 2003 Spider and was hoping to put it on over the weekend. I had a look today at the lock mechanism and it offers not many straightforward clues other than a difficult to access small circlip.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
By the way I'm only replacing the badge.

If you are replacing the badge just because the emblem as faded, and not because the mechanism is busted, you can purchase a metal emblem with adhesive backing which sticks over the old faded one.

Not one for the purists, but looks ok as long as it is centred correctly.
