I reckon white guys do it too.

But I would say you'd have to paint them, but bcause the surface is smooth - it'll probably look arse when it flakes off

 

[Brighton Femme]

I mean black cars! not people! Phrased wrong sorry!

I wonder if I could get some made up? I know a plastics place... I might have to pop in.. even if it was just a cover.. if it looks poo I could take them off again!

 

[Brighton Femme]

does anyone know the part numbers for the front and rear S ?

I wasthinking of getting them shadow chrome, so a bit OE but darker to blend in.

Im sure stuRox did it one his LCR

 

[Brighton Femme]

Cheers Scotty! I've Pm'ed him.

 

[Scotty_b]

He hasnt got the car anymore but im sure he will still have the pics

 

[StuRox]

Yup, guilty as charged.

I did my front badge silk black.

To save a lot of messing around with the badge, I just covered my car in a dust sheet, and cut out a hole for the badge and sprayed it on the car.

You just have to wet and dry the badge first, then use grey plastic primer, and then the black to get the best finish.

I used silk black, as thought it went best with the rest of the black trim, but I suppose you can use whatever type of paint you fancy.

Here is a pic of the finished job:

Wonder if that would be too much for a black LCR could suit a debadged rear end though

 

[Brighton Femme]

exactly.. I've got rid of my L E O N bits.. so I'm thinking it would be good on a black motor! My bf's got it on he's golf and it suits it well.

HMMM nice cheap mod and looks good on yellow. May have to get my wheels done first tho

 

[StuRox]

yup, the wheels really set off the Yellow - go on get it done man

 

[Scotty_b]

New lamba probes first im afriad

 

[StuRox]

good call, as the nice coloured wheels are no good if the car ain't moving

 

[Scotty_b]

No but i know what id rather spend my money on!

lol, but isn't that always the case

 

[Scotty_b]

It is with me at the moment!

 

[Ruddmeister]

Well It looked easy and was something I had wanted to do for a while so I'm givig it a go (starting tonight).....decided on a slightly different approach by taking the badge off

Dismantle two pieces above then the centre grill pops out

Then pulls apart is you are carefull

Homemade spray booth following wet and dry to key area

Spary primer first coat on
