A recent exchange on the Scorpio List touched on the fitment of
badges on the Scorpio. A member had seen a car showing Scorpio Ultima badges on
the rear door pillars.
Previously I had noticed a 1996 Scorpio Ultima, like mine, but
with Ultima badges, while mine had the standard SCORPIO badges. When I checked,
I found that the plain badge was correct for the 1995 model, but they had been
changed later to include the trim level - so I ordered a pair. The old ones came
off using thin fishing line. This is used in a saw-like motion behind the badge
to cut through the self-adhesive pad - the badges are all self-adhesive - and
then I used cellulose thinner to remove all traces of the old pad. In cold
weather, use a hair dryer first to warm the new pad before pressing the badge
firmly in place.
The figure above is the official Ford diagram showing the badge fittings.
Badge 2 is the standard SCORPIO badge fitted to all cars before some time in
1996, after which 7, 8 or 9 were attached as appropriate, while the original
badge remained for the lowest spec. I list the badges and the Finis numbers
below.

When the 24V Cosworth engine was introduced in the 92 Granada
the Cosworth moniker was reserved for the lower boot location but with the
introduction of the Scorpio, no COSWORTH badges were placed on the bodywork. It
was as if Ford decided not to announce it or maybe their experiences with the
Sierra Cosworth and the high insurance and theft rates decided it for them - the
24V badges on the wings would have to be enough. In fact the Granada 24V badges
were different from the Scorpio, having a more serif font, (6 641 594).
However, there are two COSWORTH badges which one might consider mounting on the
rear, perhaps to give warning to the tailgating driver of that Golf GTi before
he blows a head gasket trying to keep up. (My 95 Scorpio Ultima has no badge at
all mounted on the rear tailgate, except the Ford oval.)
The badges were issued for the Escort and Sierra Cosworths. One is a plain
badge, 6 650 549 and the other with a black background, 6 499 467.
