Designer Grille Badges

Simon Carter for the Vauxhall Insignia

Simon Carter has reinvented the classic British grille badge, most commonly seen on heritage vehicles, exclusively for the Vauxhall Insignia.

Leading UK menswear designer Simon Carter has designed two limited edition car grille badges, bringing the iconic motoring accessory into the 21st century with a cool, contemporary twist.

The designs, limited to 150 each, have been influenced by traditional British motoring club badges and can clip securely onto the front of car grilles, or stand alone as stylish, collectible items.

Anything to do with classic cars automatically rules in my book. Bring it on!
