There's a guide on badges in the guides section if I remember correctly!

I'd just buy a new one and save the hassle.

 

[Jackwoody]

It's the getting it back in the right place I'm worried about lol

If you buy the new ones and spray them, then mask around the old ones before you take them off and then you have some form of guide as to where they went.

^this mans a genius, where can I buy them?

 

[Andyk1801]

eBay... I got a sport badge for a couple of quid... Not tried searching for a Renault one..

 

[Jackwoody]

Thinking I might leave them now and just do the diamonds

 

[Andyk1801]

I did the diamonds and the Clio badge cos that just clips out, but i found it easier to push it from the back as not to break the clips... I'm just going to remove the sport and Renault badge. did the bullets too, they come off easily.

Pics?

Bullets before fitted

Aerial I did as well, used to be silver

Back diamond and clio badge

Bullet after fitted

Front diamond...

Car needs a good wash... They show up better when it's clean, they are painted in VW diamond black (pearlescent)

 

[Andyk1801]

Oh and a nice bit of curbing on the drivers front wheel when I pulled up from work... not happy about that lol

 

[Jackwoody]

Ye I changed my ariel as it was about 14ft tall lol!, ye I was going to do them three but does it not look strange without the Renault sport?

 

[Andyk1801]

Dunno, they are still on at the moment just in chrome... If it looks strange when I stake it off I may replace them with one of the stickers mentioned above... Or replace the clio badge with a new mk3 Renault sport badge.. They are just big enough to cover the holes and I've seen a couple on here and they look really good.... Just they cost £35

How do you take off the diamonds for spray? Or just mask around and spray whilst on?

 

[Andyk1801]

Front one just pulls off... Just give it a bit of force... Mine came off no problem..

Back one you have to take the boot handle and lock mechanism off to get it off. It is also sealed in on the inside do you need to break the seal on the back of the handle to pull it off then glue it back in... Took me about 10 minutes to get it off without a guide.

Just make sure when you take it off you remember how it goes together, I made that mistake and took me about 20 minutes to re assemble.... And whatever you do.... DO NOT CLOSE THE BOOT when the lock mechanism is off hahaha... I also did this luckily I managed to press the metal rod down that connects to the lock and open it again.
