Those paints you can buy at halfrauds in an aerosol. Its just plastic paint i think... After Primer and before lacquer of course :rasp:

Oh, and thanks!

 

[Jordi17]

any idea how you get the badge off? doing the rear aswell??

 

[AlexOnToast]

I just pulled the front badge off with my hands. Takes a fair amount of force, and it felt like it was going to snap, but it came off in one

Or, you could get a screwdriver, (with tape wrapped around the end so it doesnt scratch you paint), and just prise it off.
And I haven't even looked at the rear badge yet, but it's on my To-do list. lol

I'm guessing that your planning on doing the same?

 

[Ian_182]

[AlexOnToast]

oh rite, i wonder how it goes bac on then??

well im not to sure whether to do mine or not, having to buy 3 spray cans just for one little badge.

It just clips back on. It's held on by 3 clips..

For the rear you have to pop the plastic off on the inside of the boot, it has one torx screw and the rest just pops off, about 7 clips i think.

Then you have to unscrew the 3 bolts holding the boot lock on, then slide the boot lock off the bolts, then pull the plastic cover (that the badge is set in) off the boot, it'll be quite a tight fit as the screw threads almost grip the holes, but a good yank will do it.

Then theres lots of little clips holding the badge on, but i snapped them all off as they really do f**k all. Whats really holding it is double sided tape (with almost 100% contact).
So ALOT of pressure slowly but evenly on the back of the badge will pop it out!

Putting it back on, it some how clipped itself back on when i snapped most of the clips off. :S

Black would look good on yoru Clio my friend

 

[Birdie]

Sorry crap quality it was off my phone.

 

[VeinAST]

V tasty How did you open the boot again after you'd taken the lock off?

 

[Birdie]

i only took the badge off then put the backing plate back on

 

[mullen]

might do mine matt black to go with the wheels? yay or nay?

 

[AlexOnToast]

This is how the badge curently is.. All primered and sanded etc. I'm not sure, but i rather like it white? Maybe i'm just delusional because of all the aerosol fumes.

(s**t quality & dirty car sorry)

It'll still most likely end up black. Looks smart black on those other clio pics.

 

[172Ben]

How did you get your clio badge on and off?

 

[Ralphizzle]

If you're not sure use a vinyl wrap! DIY... SIM-PLE.

 

[Kane.]

Front pulls off with a little force and for rear, open boot, undo the plastic panel and undo the boot lock, you should be able to see from there how to do it.

[Ollieeee]

That looks fapping awesome. Sport front bumper and it'd be amazing.
