Changed the colour of a few bits ....

my dash strips were very scratched and tbh i think the silver looks really tacky as its trying to look like metal :dead: so i set about spraying my dash strips in gloss black to match the pro races . while i was going crazy with the primer etc i done what i was always a bit iffy and scared of doing in case i dint like it .......the badges . ( clio , renault diamond etc ) . here are the pics of a afternoon bit of work . Im liking the way its all starting to tie in together with my blue and black theme

Started off sanding with some wet and dry sand paper followed by spraying all my pieces with halfords plastic primer ..

the black renault diamond fitted to the front . this didnt come out too bad . my first ever time i have sprayed anything ...

then after looking at taking the rear diamond off it all seemed one hell of a job so decided to spray it whilst still on the car :evil: was really worried about my paintwork mind

all primed

the finished thing ....with the newly sprayed black clio badge .

im thinking the button on the boot deff needs colour coding the same colour as the car .

and last but not least the dash strips , losing the silver and keeping the ongoing black theme ...opinions welcome

haha, need some up-to-date ones then dude....big believer of how plates can make the car, and imo they are the only thing letting the car down...!

it would have looked odd , a black clio badge but silver diamond .

i like the diamond, just not the bit in the middle...would of masked it off personally!

...dont take it negatively mate...its all IMO , and i think its a very nice car..
