Newly stickered 2.0 16v bullets

[Jekyll]

Got Ady@n2grafix to knock me up a set of bullet stickers so i could have some smooth bullets. Got him to do a set in red and silver so i could have a silver shadow over the red like my rev counter stickers. Anyway what ya reckon CS?

Nice, I do like your car it's the best B&G i've ever seen.

 

[Cub.]

Looks good Mark, it's the attention to detail on this car I love.

looking good mate, glad they arrived ok

 

[Jekyll]

Thanks all Ill be lacquering them tonight then ill pop them on tomorrow.

I still reckon you need a new hobby.....

 

[jesus]

That looks fantastic mate!

 

[Jekyll]

Perhaps a less costly one eh rob!

Thanks Jamie. They actually turned out better than I thought. The lacquer is on so ill let them dry overnight then pop them on tomorrow after work. Quick question: how do I remove the old bullets?

Shadow effect looks smart, got to say I'm starting to favour the decal on smooth bullets look over the highlighted raised 2.0 16v look.

They look better than I thought they would too.

You need to remove the sidestrip and then remove the old bullet by the big clip in the middle. The other two smaller clips at either end should just pop off.

 

[Jekyll]

Ok, how do I remove the side strip? Don't want to go in all guns blazing and break clips.

Pull it towards the rear of the car

 

[DaveDreads]

I just taped up a flathead screwdriver and levered them off,
starting at the front and worked my way back top and bottom,
comes of easily once you get it started.

Same as above, infact It can be done with your fingers quite easily I find now. Slightly easier if you can get the door strip off, but if you've not had them off before I'd probably leave it as they'll be on stiff covered in dirt over the years inside.

They look absolutely superb! The shadow effect is a great touch too. Will be good to see them on the car

 

[alexr19]

Absolutely epic. Can't wait to see it at css

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Did you manage to get these off...?

 

[Jekyll]

Yes managed to get them off and back on. Bullets were lacquered once last night and again this morning as I finished early

There not perfect as the stickers started to rise but I waited for the lacquer to dry then used some 2500 grit and soapy water to wet and dry them off. Used t-cut o) to buff out the wet and dry marks then polished up with blackhole. The old bullets I found out were bonded on Must have been like it from when I had them painted before as I've never taken them off.

Will get some pics later hopefully.

The red came out came orange in the pics but they are red! Probably needs another going over with 2500 but ill wait a couple of days for it hardens then maybe go over it again. Looks a lot better than my old chipped ones tbh.

 

[Lawro]

They look great!

 

[jesus]

As above. I love the subtle shadow!
