    I see alot of you make your "Citroen" + "Saxo" black.
    I think it was on VTS_CRAIG's progress that it said all he did was T-CUT them Is this right ?? i'm assuming so.
    Do you have to use black T-CUT and how long will it take??
    Cheers

    p1500 wet and dry, a bit of water, and it take 30 seconds, no need for rubbing hard

    I'm famous woooo

    Just get some t-cut and rub it on with a cloth

    T-cut is an abrasive thing, doesn't come in colours, just buy some t-cut

    whilst on the car

    avoid the paintwork, won't really do much to the paint but just to make sure.

    + a good sunny day.

    stop moanin about threads that are actually helpful you arse and start moanin about how many TOP GEAR REMINDER threads there are on this site.

    this thread is a guy asking for help and not to remind people whats on TV .... but then again a NON-HELPFUL thread seems to be more popular on this site than a HELPFUL one!!!!!

    and btw you'd be the first to recieve neg rep from almost everyone on this thread mate

    neg rep ftw

    VTR craig yours do actually look resprayed, t cut does come in colours but dont worry about which colour you use all will do the same job on your badge!

    tbh if you have spray lying around id do it that way they look alot better, have a troul (sp) through pred progress he sprayed his, also in mine i sprayed mine white though.

    well im going to say it too use the search button, if you cant find anything then your using it wrong, the search page has a lot of features on it

    also check the stickies, i made a guide for doing this

    these are both in the rules

    it might do, but this was about 10 mins if that, you can do what you want, you still get the same results.

    you can leave the badges on the car and get the same effect as t cutting them but in about 45 seconds for each badge! i borrowed my mates buffer with some polish for the paint he had and did both rear badges. dint take anymore than a couple of mins happy days

    Noobs FTW!

    Lol. Anyways... I'm thinkin' of just tearin' mines off... Sandin' them a bit.. Gettin' the primer over them then a few coats of gloss black. I do know however that they're kept on by some sort of glue shit... To get it to stick in right would I just slap some sort of adhesive on the back of the badges?
