    Luckily I had some t cut in the shed, covered in cobwebs lol... Photoshop looks better glad to see u will be doing it! Smoked out look is cool but in a way I kind of prefer it with the bumper strips staying black, cos it matches the lights & alloys just a personal thing, not got that far myself yet to make a decision tho.
    
    Have fun t-cutting!

    Like i said i would post pics.
    
    Took me like 2 hours to do both badges lol:
    
    Before:
    
    
    
    Some afters:
    
    
    
    
    
    Came out much better than i thought.
    
    Tip tho. If you do it. Clean the badges well after. It rained night after i did it and woke up to find the t cut had ran down my boot. Wiped off fine luckily.

    U get some t-cut from halfords or somewhere, put a bit on a cloth and rub it onto the rear badges, it takes the silver off and makes them black.

    Photoshop version looks real good, as soon as you get it slammed it will give it a better look either way, colour regardless, personal preference from then on and what you can afford at a time. Wouldnt mind getting mine coded but skinters at moment, wish I had a bird thats gonna pay to get mine lowered haha, nightmare waiting for my mate to do it!
