[peteyhawkins]

Anyone tell me how to remove my front renault badge? About to spray black, seen a few on here and it looks mint.

bumper off, screws on from behind bumper iirc

 

[peteyhawkins]

screws or is it just clips?

 

[Cro]

just pops off mate, be careful not to break any clips

 

[J03]

yeah just pull it of mate, wrap ur finger tips behind the badge and pull

 

[peteyhawkins]

Almost done, wet n dry, touch of laquer..

 

[Hazza]

What color did u use?

 

[peteyhawkins]

metalic pearlescent black, same as car colour.

 

[Hazza]

Looks anthracite in the pic :S

 

[peteyhawkins]

Yeah that was before it was laquered. heres some more pics:

I'm quite pleased with the result. Think it looks quite stealth, lowered and tints is next to be done!

Pretty much what other have said really.

Remove the sport badge from it
Change the rear lights 9standard with silver bulbs in etc)
Change the 17's, I see you said you've got the standard wheel's, get them on it & how it looks
Lower it.
Do your calipers silver or black.
Change the number plates to non chavvy normal font ones.

Sorted.

Colour coding looks sweet mate.

Sorry if ive missed it, did you colour code.. or get it done professionaly?

And if so where did you get the paint from?

cheers

Might put the standard rear lights on again. And tint spray them possibly. Sport badge is temporary until i get the holes filled in.
Will be lowered, but I aint changing the wheels, I mean I know its loads of your opinions about the wheels, but why would I ever take off £700 itialian belini's and put standard renault wheels back on, don't be stupid!!
All of you english guys seem to be doing that, and honestly, it doesn't look any better.

I started the two rear strips, got them done good, and then with the ammount of time that had take, I just couldn't be bothered, so I took them to a garage.

Don't tint spray ur standard lights, that will make them just as bad as those lexus lights! Just leave the standard lights standard!

looking fit!

Painted calipers yesterday, finally got round to it, putting them off for ages!

Oh and also got me one of these:

Progress has been slow, but its getting there. Need to get my lowering springs for now. Anyone had any problems with -40mil on standard shocks?

 

[Tigger]

Coming along nicely Petey, can't wait to get another meet on the cards again

 

[christian rea]

40mm on standard shocks will be fine mate
