Taking apart the tailgate handle/badge

[jc_boc]

Looks good mate but I think I would prefer my grille "s" in black so it looks debaged. Defo liking the boot "s" in black though, sits well with the bocanegra words.

Gunna give it a few weeks see if i like it or not and go from there

 

[jc_boc]

Can you give us a full shot of the rear and front Dave? Would be good to get an overall impression tbh.

 

[Dave 77]

Yea thats my plan 2morro, would have done it 2night but had to watch footy tho might not have bothered tbh

Ill put v.2 on the back tomorrow

 

[Dave 77]

Wot i used was this stuff my mum had where u melt these little plastic balls in water then they mould togather and go soft. Then just put a little of it on the back seams to have worked quite well

 

[techie]

I got a hot melt glue gun for that kinda thing.

 

[Dave 77]

That would work to

Few better photos as requested

mmmmmmm I am loving the back, still honestly thinking about the front. I persoanlly would swing towards having the debagged look in the front so it is all black. Not saying it looks crap, just think it would tie in better. just my opinion mate but looks really awesome though. Nice job fella! OMG!! Just noticed those wicked little stickers over the reverse sensors hahahahahahahahahaha, tghey are so cool mate!!!!

 

[Dave 77]

Yea as i said gunna give it a few weeks see wot i fink

V.1

V.2

 

[jc_boc]

V1 techie mate..................

 

[dan_wilson87]

see i quite like v.2, i think it stands out a bit more, however v.1 does look more intune with the rest of the car

 

[dan_wilson87]

Dave 77, how did u gett he front seat badge off?

 

[techie]

You have to remove the grill, two clips at the top then unclip along the bottom then remove the melted plastic tabs from behind the badge then unclip the badge.

Deffo V1 techie!

I can't quite make up my mind whether I prefer Dave 77's black on white rear badge or techie's white on black rear badge, they both look great but I think that I'm inclined to agree with Mk2_Cupra's sentiments about the black on white sitting well with the B O C A N E G R A lettering.

 

[techie]

I like v2 in the flesh, but what I will probably do is repaint v1 to have a white surround like v2

Two T20 screws and the interior trim pulls off then three 10mm nuts and the plug, simples.

I've unscrewed the t20 screws, does it just take a firm pull to remove the plastic trim???
Bit nervous of ruining my boot haha
