Ivan’s been working on some more custom Saab badges.
Previous posts on these badges are here, here, here and I really recommend you look here.
Back in August, I stopped for a night in Sydney, on my way to Canada, and caught up with some of the Saab guys up there. My mate Hawkeye has a set of Ivan’s Griffin badges on his 2008 BioPower 9-3 and they looked absolutly awesome. (And Ferd, please tell me why I was so stupid as to not get photos!)
In addition to the standard badges that Ivan makes (see the links, above), you can also request totally customised badges for your car. They come in a matt silver finish with a self adhesive backing and going by Hawkeye’s griffin badges, they’re absolutely superb.
Ivan’s just sent me some photos of some new Saab badges that people have requested for their cars. These were all custom orders.
This one appears on a Saab 9-5 in Hungary:
And in the interior……this one could also look good on the exterior, on the front quarter:
And finally, this was a request from a 9-5 owner in Finland. Typeset is the same as the pre-existing Aero badge:

If you’re interested in organising some custom badging, Ivan can whip up a design for a small fee, or you can purchase one of his stock designs for around 5 or 6 Euro each (depending on size).

I have a few of Ivan’s badges and I can say they are great.
My friend Alex has a few on his 900’s too

Only thing is I’d be a bit worried about that interior one being embedded in my head, if there was even an accident and the airbag deployed.

When the airbag deploys the dash rips up somewhere around the height of the SRS signs, so the badge shouldnt be a problem, its quite below that line

Swade, after selling my 02 Aero the new Bio-Power was just missing something. These griffin badges are just what the doctor ordered! After 4 months on the car, just perfect. Make sure you like where you put them as you only get one go. I suggest a cardboard template to match each side before placement. Thanks Ivan! My car has exclusivity without being overdone.

The vintage badge is really sweet. Matches a t-shirt I have but way cooler.
