Mk3 XR2i Rear Badging

[Thorburn]

My father in-law is finishing off restoring a Mk3 XR2i he bought last year and we're trying to get the correct rear badging for it.
The car only had a 16v badge on the back when he got it, he has a raised lettering Fiesta badge and I've seen similar XR2i badges available as well, however most photos online seem to have a sticker with a white Fiesta and blue XR2i beneath.

Does anyone know what the car would have come with? Its a K-reg so I believe reasonably late in the production run of the model?

You should have a sales brochure for reference. Or go online and search for images of the same year vehicle. De badging is very common everywhere. Unfortunately, most people who de badge don't put the removed items in the glove compartment for the next owners.
Key publishing company put out a nice Ford Fiesta retrospective earlier this year, you might find images of the correct tail badges in that publication.

This image is the tail end of the 1993 mk 3 XR2i in the Ford Heritage collection in Essex.

Thanks, that's really helpful.

Will keep an eye out for badges for sale I guess.

It might be worthwhile to contact the parts departments at several ford agencies that have been in business for a long time. You could get lucky from what they have in their stocks.
Im surprised that the aftermarket support for the earlier Fiesta generations parts needs hasn't begun to happen?. The original Capri is also lacking in parts support. The Mk1 Capri is another1970's era car that i am interested in getting an restorable example of.
