You can paint the bullet/badge in the colour of your choice then paint the letters with the colour of your choice and lacquer if required.

I used a black touch up pen for my letters

I did think it looked different, but for the better

Cleans it up a bit i think.

I Wire brushed them with the electric drill and wire brush attachment then cleaned them with brake cleaner and then Hammerite as it was cheaper than caliper paint you get in the two tins.

And there was no problems with flaking etc whe i went over them again quickly the other week

Cheers.

I never drilled any holes bud as the wings are plastic i just used a self tapping screw up the topof them and also where the 2 existing bolts/screws are that holds the sideskirt to the arch and where it meets the arch at each side.
I used them to hold the mudflap on with assistance of washers.


Heres a few pics.

Insides

And my black paint has chipped off now and the screws are now all rusty, they were repainted though.
