Philplop Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Cheers. Yeah, I took it off, it's only stuck on with sticky pads though, so it comes off quite easily. Then you need to melt the pins on the back and remove the VW bit, mask up the rubber edges and paint the hard plastic bit.Seeing that picture again makes me realise how bad my exhaust was! Jubilee clips are for winners. Edited September 29, 2008 by Philplop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Nope, you'll need some new sticky stuff. I used thick padded sticky tape. Dunno where I got it from though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Car Lupo Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Colour coded the black bit in the rear VW badge. Well pleased with how it came out.Suppose it would work out quite a bit with the plastic primer, colour and lacquer, but I already had all the paint so it was free really. I did that too, mines yellow. Love how mine turned out too x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
