Finally Blacked My 'S'

[Beaker™]

Been something i've wanted to do since before i even got the car (1 and a half years ago), now that i've done it i'm not to sure about it now

Before...

A quick spray job...

Fitted to grill...

Back on the car...

Notice the deliberate chip? Doh!...

Atempted to clean the engine bay too, not up to the standard of some of you guys but i do have new respect for those with uber clean bays

Before...

After...

personally think the badge suits your car, goes with theme of black wheels. looks good. Definatley suits some models / colours more than others though.

Phew lol Have been itching to do it for ages.

I think it looks wicked mate

 

[gavthelad]

yeah i think it looks cool mate....

as i was scrolling through the photos, i was gonna suggest maybe a glossier paint but looking at your wheels it matches perfect.......nice one!!

Yeah was after a matt/satin finish to match the wheels, wasnt to happy about having to put laquer on really but had to in order to give it protection against stone chips.

looks very good mate, suits the yellow, i like mines silver as i think it suits the black, but really smart on yours, i'd say keep it

Looks good, and looks like the S just pops out.

Does look real good Beaker.

Suits the Ovni colour, i think its better than de-badged look.
Its well carried out and that makes the difference!

 

[Beaker™]

Thanks guys, thats helped make up my mind. Think i'll keep it black for now then

does the badge just pop out?

 

[Beaker™]

does the badge just pop out?

Theres 2 blobs of plastic weld on the back, scrape them off then your left with 4 tiny black clips that hold it in place. Just pop the clips and pop out the 'S'. I found that the 4 clips hold the 'S' in just fine upon refitting, no need for any plastic weld or glue Word of warning though, be real careful refitting as its a tight fit and its real easy to scratch your freshly painted surface.

nice one
