Front Diamond?

[Juude]

Thinking about painting my front diamond Pearl Black like my 172 but I kinda wanted to buy a second hand / new diamond on eBay so I don't mess mine up / start to hate it after a while and want to revert back to the chrome finish.

Are they cheap to pick up off of eBay or not? Plus do they just unclip or are they a whole bumper jobby?

On the subject is the rear diamond a similar job?

Thanks!

Edit: Is this one?

Send them off to sprayshack, he is a trader on here and paints them any colour you want. The front just pulls off and the rear you need to take out the lock mechanism to get to it.

the rear one just pulls off aswell, no need to take the lock out

^^^Are you sure?

The rear one is glued in. Pretty sure you have to take the lock out too.

Cheers guys will look into it today Whats peoples opinions on color coding diamonds?

as mentioned the lock has to come of for the rear. I eventually got round to doing mine last night

Ever thought of wrapping it instead of painting.. Then, if you get bored/dont like it/want too put it back to standard, you just take off the vinyl.. Always a thought?

Just vinyl wrapped mine

Not a bad idea tbf. How much CF wrap did you need to do that pal?

didn't have too on mine just pulls off there are a couple of screws and clip to take off and requires a bit of force to pull off

You risk snapping the clips though.

i used a window tinting little plastic squeedgie to pop the front badge off dont force it the clips will break, it seems to come out easier if you wedge somthing in the top first then slide somthing under neath and pop it , i used a t spoon with head bent at 90 degrees.

Which Carbon wrap did you use mate?
Is it just the Vinyl? or is it the better Di Noc 3m stuff?

Also when doing the diamond how do you get it neat in the centre/hole of the diamond? Just cut a small hole? and push through with heat?
