iam thinking about spraying my rear badges black, they are blue at the moment.what would you do?

heres a pic of my car, beare in mind that i have smoked rear lights to

15th June 2006, 20:15

my own personal opinion i would either spray them black or de-badge it (obviously money depending)

15th June 2006, 20:18

i did think of de badging it but doing it diy,if i was to bond something inside the boot where the holes are and then fill and paint and then get my merr scratch removal kit on it, i think they might turn out ok

i personally would leave it to a bodyshop, unless your 100% how to do it, as if it does go a bit worng it will stand out like a saw thumb. what ever way you decide mate (black or debadge) it'll look good.

15th June 2006, 20:26

i think i will have ago at debadging it, if it goes wrong i can allway put the badges back on

15th June 2006, 20:49

Black badges gets my vote, theres a pic on ssc of a posi blue vtr with them done and it looks really good.

15th June 2006, 20:57

black badges imo

16th June 2006, 01:44

black badges!

will go with the wheels and tints and its alot cheaper than de badging!

16th June 2006, 01:47

I LIKE THEM BLUE LOL

16th June 2006, 09:06

black or debadged mate both tried and test and both look sweet

lol not much help am i?

16th June 2006, 09:12

As Ste said do them black, if you dont like them de badge them, but get it done at a bodyshop.

i was thinkin of spraying my badges black, i have a black saxo so i reckon it would look good. How hard are they to get off and put back on? Will i need to buy some glue to fit them back on?

20th June 2006, 20:15

i done them black in the end,i dident think they would look that good but they do look really good better than blue anyway.

20th June 2006, 20:20

did you but the black back lights on?

i think black would look ok. you could always try that,then if it look poo de badge it.

20th June 2006, 20:24

i have had the black back lights on for about two weeks now,i will take a picture tomorrow

20th June 2006, 20:36

finally got mine thought today.They look really good

i phoned them up yesterday and they sent them out on next day delivery:Y:

see you always get somewhere when you put on an angry phone voice

20th June 2006, 20:39

Someone was doin a swap on here before ,cant remember who it was but it was £50 and your lights, that would be the best.

or try out some of your own handy work

i think it was mattwesty, he paints the inside, there is a how to guid on ssc i have got that and it doent seen that hard to do,iam just worried that if i f**k them up i will have to buy new headlights

21st June 2006, 01:24

im in the same boat. dont want to maff my lights up so im going to get some experimental ones first from a scrappy if i can !

21st June 2006, 19:02

i didnt think of the scrappy,good thinking

21st June 2006, 19:28

debadge all the way

22nd June 2006, 00:45

debadging is more costly and poop if you dont get it done properly. spraying badges is cheap and simple yet effective IMO
