graeme2 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 A trip to halfords and came back with a 25mm grommit for dewipering the rear and some paint for a few bits and bobs.i desided to give the badges a lick of paintpainting in progress:While dewipering the back i also decided to take off the lupo badge, which tidys it up a wee bit i think, so heres the back freshly painted badge debadged and dewipered: And the front badge finished:) Since i had paint left over a painted a few bits inside also.
