Yep so did I...shame that I went and painted it.

y not buy a new S

 

[Altech]

Because i'm lazy and can't be bothered to order one from my dealer .

Having the part number might spur me on...anyone got it?

 

[DazWood]

did you laquer it afterwards or not bother?

Nah didnt bother, the black was a gloss finish so didnt need to really.
got it on the car now, ill shot sum pics up

 

[DazWood]

Think it would look better on a clean car lol. Hope fully it will help me being spotted aswell lol

 

[Marc_4]

Some Laquer and it will look better

 

[DazWood]

Looks like im going back to Halfords lol. Laters

[DazWood]

U read my mind lol. I was gunna do it yestaday. but i thought i better just do the S just in case i dnt like it. but i may give tha a try. Worst case, ill have to spray it black. Cheers Daz

which ever way you go black/green i wouldn't leave it chrome as it kind of takes your eyes away from the 'S' if you know what i mean....i think do as you said go green and if you dont like go black....but once you go black....you dont go back haha

I sprayed both the S and the grill surround satin black... Im not keen on the S being black aswell so ive ordered a new badge which will stay silver. The FR has different colour bumper inserts which makes it look odd imo.

You don't happen to have the part number do you?

Sorry, I just went in, asked for an S grill badge and he scribbled it down. It'll be on the back of the badge won't it? Or is that too much effort

I'll tell you on Tuesday if you haven't found out before
