What Colour Bullets?

[Justin BBP]

I'm thinking of changing the colour of the bullets on my Monaco Ph2 172.

What colour would look best I was thinking black with silver 2.0 16v or carbon with with silver 2.0 16v and matching Renault Diamonds?

 

[DanEdser]

carbon with silver writing

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Monaco background with silver writing, no brainer..........

 

[Justin BBP]

What about the Renault diamonds if I went with Monaco and Silver?

 

[DaveDreads]

Leave the diamonds silver but colour code the boot button Monaco blue.

 

[Justin BBP]

Colour code the boot button?

 

[flat-eric]

I have a set from spray shack for sale if your interested. Monaco background silver writing. Pm me if interested. Rob

Like this:

I think you should have Monaco background and silver lettering for bullets, then spray your diamonds In the same silver so it gets rid of the chrome look

 

[Justin BBP]

I bought Rob's (flat-eric) Spray Shack Monaco with silver lettered bullets this morning. I like the carbon with the silver boot button, did you do the front in carbon as well, but not sure if carbon and Monaco would look as good.

 

[-Danman-]

Ah nice one yeah front badge is carbon as well. Not sure if it'd look right on a Monaco, maybe if you've got other black/carbon bits it'd work though. What colour are your wheels?

 

[Justin BBP]

The wheels are currently as they come from the factory but thinking of getting them refurbished in black.

 

[-Danman-]

If you do get them refurbished black then carbon badges would look the dogs

 

[Justin BBP]

I would do them myself but I've not got the skills to do it

 

[DaveDreads]

Don't let that put you off mate, I didn't even know how to get my bullets and badges off,
not to mention the fact i've never sprayed anything in my life.

The best way to learn is by doing,
I don't have pics of all my badges and diamonds, but this is the one i'm most proud of.

 

[Justin BBP]

Looks like a good job on the diamond.

Is it a case of popping the bullets off?

Bingo!

Yeah that's the best way mate, just give everything a go and if you get really stuck I'm sure a few people on here will help you out

P.S. Dave, everytime I see your avatar it reminds me of 'The Stig' from Top Gear. Just thought I'd let you know

Pretty much, wrap the end of a flat head screwdriver in gaffa tap,
slide it underneath the front of the bullet and just lever it off.

Lol how so, I don't remember a TG episode where the Stig passed out drunk in a tent. haha

 

[Justin BBP]

All fitted, and they look the sweet

lmao, I'm always on my phone so the picture is quite small. The tent looks like his helmet and your legs are the tinted visor (I have a good imagination :clown

 

[DaveDreads]

Ah right I get it now, I just put the computer on the other side of the room and squinted at it,
it does sort of look like a sky blue Stig helmet. lol

The diamonds and bullets on my iceberg 172 are sprayed in Ford Thistle Purple and now i've seen this thread i think i might colour code my boot button.
It really makes the rear diamond stand out.
