White Side Badges!!

[S Garbett]

I managed to get some 1.6 16v side badges and i sanded back the lettering so they were smooth and then preped the badges and sprayed them with the different coats of paint you have to do.

Here are some pictures after parking in a field to see some fireworks at macklock bath!

Nice and clean again before putting white side badges on!

cheers! one less 1.2 on the forum though

I quite like the black lights, I'm not sure if youd be best doing what I did with my old set, which was to tint everything bar the white circle in the middle, might go with the black and white theme a bit more. Also love the fact you've kept it colourcoded and not covered it in 172 bits.

white wheels. And DEFFO needs a set of side skirts to counteract the jimmy hill chin.

 

[adamRS]

Smooth is the way to go.

I have been thinking about ths for the last few weeks! How did you cover up the circles before tinting! When reverising now i can hardly see out of the back what would it be like with tints!!!??

Any ideas for me to get the circles masked up before spraying? lol

I thought i might aswell keep things standard bodywork wise to be a little different from the 172 reps. But i am getting a 172 grill because i dont like mine lol.

I Know i need side skirts!!!

 

[Middo]

I took mine to the bodyshop and then picked them up after work They sell a curvy masking tape in halfords which should do the trick though
