[FlameR]

Nice touch mate, but prob would look better in anthracite!

 

[paul]

how did you do the centre one..does it just pop out? :S

 

[Sam_Clio]

looks really good

 

[Greeny.]

Looks really nice but it looks like the "Renault" and "Sport" badges are slightly in the wrong place? Look to near to the number plate recess.

'fraid not, its a delicate masking job and covering the rest of the car while you spray it!!

[GarethM]

undecided if i like it tbh would look good on a white car

do you have black wheels to match?

 

[Rage]

would look better satin black IMO....liking it tho

 

[rich19]

paint the button inside the badge blue and it will finish it off

 

[Ben.]

[rich19]

paint the button inside the badge blue and it will finish it off nicely

 

[clio_luke]

its different, and it looks pretty good. i would say be different and go for it

 

[RichRSi]

Looks very good. Did you use etch primer or just normal primer?

 

[HeatherRS]

agreed

I prefer the silver Sport badges though... think they go better with the blue.

[Turner]

Agree about the centre button being blue to match the car but i really like the badges like that especially if ya got the wheels to match

Just a normal primer, but the badges were thoroughly degreased and keyed before spraying, using some jizer, a toothbrush and 600 wet and dry paper. took aaaaaages but i think its worth it.

Looks quite smart actually, i wana black diamond for the front of mine.

 

[Renault_Boy01]

looks much better as now the boot button fits in

 

[jamesp24]

Really nice ,i wana do mine in anthracite, how do you get the badges of ?

 

[Pasty]

front is easy to get off, theres 3 tabs holding it into the black surround. if they break, stick it back in with silicone or something.

The "renault" and "sport" badges are stuck on with double sided foam tape. I found a piece of fishing line was good to pull behingd and cut the tape. Be careful when removing the "renault" as the R is only held in one corner, and will break if your not careful.
