jessperkins17 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 hahah clearly! its annoying that nowhere stocks my colour i.e halfords, motorspares and places like that! so you have to get it mixed! I suppose it is hard cos if you do one more drop then you should of a specific colour its gonna be a shade lighter/darker which is the problem I've found! oh well what can you do!

Elz8462 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 If you're going for a debadge grill aswell, £10-20 on ebay. Not sure about the mk1s but apparantly the grills on a lot of cars simply clip in and out, not sure from experience because I sprayed mine black instead. Should be an easy job though.

jessperkins17 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 yeah I was going to spray my badge black but the bottom part that runs along the bottom of the lights is snapped on one side and person before clearly superglued it back together and its really annoying me as it keeps popping out hahah! im sure its all one thing! if you look on the second picture from the top ^^ the blue bit around the grill then runs along half way under the light?! is that all one bit cause on ebay I've just seen the black grill bit!? or do you by it separately?!
