snakey135 Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 Cheers lads... Not too sure on the badge... Like the idea but ive used a model humbrol paint to do it and up close can see streaks from where paint has started to dry half way through.... Might rub it down, mask the carbon areas then spray it a diff shade of blue??It was an extremely pain in the bum job that mirror... Now to do it all again on other one!!

Mr Brown Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Here mate just found this in how too's http://civic5.com/forum/index.php?/topic/322-colour-coding-your-number-plate-recess/ It shows you how to remove the inner boot liing which will reveal the screws that hold the badge on. Its nice and easy i have had my boot lining off a few times now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roylewaa Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 The H badge was the first thing we did, it was a pain and took 4 attempts Took lots of heat to bend round the corners, theyres still a couple of creases on the finished one, not too noticible once fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakey135 Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yea lots of heat needed... You dont realise how much it helps at first so this was my first actual wrapping attempt!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
