Show us your front diamond!!

[J03]

^^^ thats nice i think but maybe do the diamond in gloss? undecided really

i had it sprayed same colour as the car before but it was chipped and took the paint off, only paint i had closest to black was satin black at the time, kinda like matt, it will do for now

 

[ozzy19]

is it easy to spray your diamond? Am thinking about doing it

 

[Lacey]

Some of the female members should show us their front diamonds tbqfh

I thought that was what it would be tbf....

wondered how long it would take someone to say it

Your diamonds all look ace guys :star: oh and amitshah, when I saw you on the m25, your diamonds look brilliant, love how it ties in with your wheels, I think you should have a yellow lip on your wheels too :approve:

 

[Plummer]

I have a black car..so gonna do it then.
Though the red one one the black car was funny..looked like it had a Rudolph nose.
it just pulls of ..dont it??

That would of been me, lol

Yeah the pictures put up of the car put me off the red (as you said looked very pinkish like rudolph's nose), i was thinking about doing it black, anthracite or going back to chrome.

But after i washed my car, i liked the red again :rasp:, when the cars wahsed the red looks alot more vibrant. I'll need to get a pic of it after its been washed. Still guarantee it won't be to alot of people's taste though!

Just trying to gather what cost people would pay for carbon effect badges?
£20 too much?

By the way mines white at the moment looks chuff. Going the carbon route asap.

My badge done Renault Anthracite the same colour as my wheels and the wheels that come on the trophys.

 

[spirez]

loving the anthracite ones. Black on black looks a bit pants imo, does look like the badge has been nicked!

 

[Clgale88]

was thinking about changing my badge from anthracite to black but not to sure i am liking my badge at the mo.

 

[spirez]

I'd leave it mate, matches the wheels!

yep just clip it of rub the shine of it prime it and paint it what ever colour you want then some nice coats of laquar leave to dry then polish

 

[ozzy19]

How do you get a non-shiney effect on the badges? If you lacquer the badge to protect it, will this not cause the paint to appear shiney? As do not want this effect

[Bloooor]

Pearl Black, Yum!

 

[pinky]

How do you get the rear diamond off??

 

[MattRS182]

[fUbAr]

my front diamond is quite rare these days...

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, although like i said, i snapped most of the clips off. :S

 

[ozzy19]

/\ Just tried to remove mine now, cudnt get the screw on the inside of the boot undone, does it need a special kind of scredriver? I had a phillips which was the right size and it wouldnt unscrew.

Is it best to just mask up the badge and spray it with it still on the back of the boot?

 

[Plummer]

It needs a torx screw driver, (Can't remember if its spelt torx or torque.)
From what I'm aware all renault parts with screws use torx.

Edit: its a 6 star Torx screwdriver you need, not sure what size though, 5-6mm?

 

[pinky]

Its a Powerflow..got it from topgear in St Albans..not sure what size..do you mean the circumfrence?? I could go and measure it.
I like the Grill I have..too many peeps change it for the RS grill.

Mmmm seems a bit hard...might just tape it up and spray it while its on the car.
Thanks for the advice though.

 

[ozzy19]

Where can I get a torx scredriver from? Is there anything else that I can use as a subistute to unscrew it? as I dont have one
