Sorry, I just went in, asked for an S grill badge and he scribbled it down. It'll be on the back of the badge won't it? Or is that too much effort

I'll tell you on Tuesday if you haven't found out before

just had a quick look on the back of mine, as its off for spaying. i think its 6L0 853 679 . hope this helps

Cheers mate. I'll get one ordered the next time I go past TPS

No Probs Altech. Yeh Daz, I Scratched it wen i put it in and i think i held the can too close when i laqured it, coz a little bit of black rippled off, so had to touch that up aswell.

Whenever I spray small parts I dry them a bit with a heat gun. Dries a lot quicker. It also helps to even up metallic paints too as I found out recently.

 

[DazWood]

Would a hair dryer do?

Looks better with the green surrond, but I think Kawasaki Green would look Epic!

Yep you could use a hair dryer. Put it on the lowest fan setting and make sure its clean otherwise you'll get loads of bits stuck onto the paint!

The best way is to use an infra-red heat lamp, as it doesn't blow it just radiates the heat.

Got it on the car finally, but couldnt figure out how to get the back off. Is it just 3 screws and pull the plastic trim off?

Had a bit of a play with some vinyl on my old grill even theo i dont use it.Just showin you how easy it is to do and it dont wreck the S if ya want it back silver.this tuck me less then 5 min to do each one.The yellow viynl is what we use on the highway maintence vehicles so its alot more brighter than it looks and it glows in the dark.

 

[danmay]
