mcgill56 3 Posted May 26, 2021 Can anyone tell me if cortina mk3 ever had black gxl boot badges ? as i have only ever seen them in red. I have come accross one in my box of bits and pieces and just wondered 🤔 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheffieldcortinacentre 529 Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Think that's possibly MK1 Granada. The L,XL,etc as well as the wing shields were changed to black at the facelift. Edited May 26, 2021 by sheffieldcortinacentre Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beeper 60 Posted June 1, 2021 My 75 XL is a facelift but has red wing shields. My 76 GT had 2.0 numbers on the wings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Scarlet 84 Posted June 5, 2021  I once spoke to guy who bought a Mk3 Cortina GXL with Granada GXL pillar badges on it, he just would not have it that they were not original ,said they were on the car from original  If he bought mine it would have been 2.0 efi engine original ,and if he bought yours Tony it would have had a V8 in as original 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the one piece badge does exist as you thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
