I guess 23 12 is the code for colored crest, it is stamped on the hood. Make sure you clean the surface before installing the new badge.

make sure your crest is aligned before you tighten it down, the holes do allow to adjust the way it sits.

once the badge is sitting even on the hood tighten the 8mm nuts. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THEM!!! you will be able to tell if its too tight.

The OEM badge was too plain for me. I like to be different.
