(Apologies, I'm moving this post from the "Free to a good home" section as it doesn't really fit in there)
A colleague at work made up a mould from an old bonnet badge of mine and has been experimenting with forming badges in clear resin. I've fitted one to my P6 and am pretty pleased with it, though I could have taken a little more care fitting the surround.

The "dome" is slightly exhaggerated to thicken up the material and prevent cracking. It's not 100% symmetrical but looks pretty good to me. As you can see, it could do with finishing off with a good polish to remove the hint of finger marks and improve the shine.
When I have a minute, I'll have another go at fitting a surround myself and photograph my method.
