Oh well good luck I tried. If it were mine that would be trivial. I have not seen any smaller versions of these. Its possilble they were the same size on the emblem itself only the castings for the pins were different. If need be you know where to find one.

LOL....Even though the holes are different I'll buy it from you. Better to have something.

Those 2 little round dents are for ejector pins - to get the die casting out of the mold. Most likely the pinned emblem was the same size.

I'll send you a PM and work out arrangments. You would be surprised how many I purchased for my car until a better one came along. I know by collecting these things over the years that alot of dealers went to the double back tape so they would not have to drill holes anymore would be my guess. A few customers that I have heard stories about refused delivery due to this oversight (drilling and mounting dealer emblems). I thought about what bergy said and took a single edge blade and peeled back one side of the tape about 1 inch but could not find any castings for the pegs. I have seen where the pegs were ground or filed down and double back tape was put in place. Anyhow Thanks
