hmmm, all the enamel paint just disappeared one night after a nasty hail storm. No warning or sign of corrosion before this (cleaned the car last weekend, not even cracked then). I have a 1996 9000 CS with almost 200,000 km on the clock. The car looks naked without any paint on the badge!
Same thing happend to me. I found some at

Yikes. Tough prices there. Try here:
FYI... best place I know of to buy SAAB brand antifreeze (the good stuff).

I know someone who breaks 9000s. He owes me some bits. I bet he never even gets a call for these. Would you like me to enquire ?

Thanks for all the help guys. I went to a wrecker and got one off an expired
9000 for NZ$24 = about US$17.My eyes popped out of my head for all the dead Saabs he had. I won't be going back to the dealer again soon for spares.
cheers, John
That would be pointless. They all age and the enamel paint cracks off eventually. Buy new ones. Start fresh. They aren't all that expensive. Maybe $25 each.

Malt Hound,
They still sell the "Saab-Scania" badges?
Saab Guy?
You mean these?
and
Yep. They sure do.
...and they're only $20 a pop.

I'm thinking that the wear in the UK is likely to be very low ( few extremes of weather ) . Mine still looks almost pristine.
Graham
The guy I mentioned buys Saabs to break since they're worth more in parts than as cars ! It's very sad. He breaks cars that are still perfectly good 'runners'. Says something about depreciation ! Oh - and the cost of new Saab spares too.
Graham
...possibly true. But my experience is they always look great until the day before the color falls off. ;-)
