Nice work Mickey I suggest hitting it with the 2000 grit sandpaper to scuff it up abit to make it even more shinier and get rid of the bubbles

[bboyskidz]

yeh mate i like it bare. it would look subtle if you sprayed it white too! has anyone got pics of white rear badges? i wonder if it would look any good?

I was trying to find 1000+ grit for my mouse sander last weekend... anyone know where I can get some? I am willing to pay postage and purchase costs lol

[Mischa]

dude someone stole your rear badge

[Mrk_Mickey]

Ahahaha.

White, hmm? I'll see For now I'm just going to leave it off because I don't want to silicone it on if I'm not 100%.

Dammit, I'm still waiting for my wheels!

[Preen59]

Put it back on, black.

Just my oppinion.

[jayjay]

i'm with preen.. i reckon unless you fill that hole (insert giggle), it looks kinda odd with the indentation..

shave or badge

[Lorenz]

How did you remove the badge? Any special trick to doing it Mickey?

I was gonna pull mine off aswell and paint it black to match my front one.

Looks good without, but the hole does look a tad odd!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Mmmm it's annoying me because I don't want it to be obvious and black; and even though it's more subtle with no badge that indentation will give me the shytes. I wonder how hard it is to weld....

KIDDING!
I'm liking the look of Jondarren's mk4 rear badge...I think the blue would go with my car despite my efforts to exterminate all traces of colour on the exterior so who knows yet. The badge isn't going on for now anyways, I'll decide later.

Lorenz, just put a hairdryer on the face of the badge for a minute or so; it helps to heat up the adhesive. Get a flathead and tape up the ends; Push the flathead behind the badge and carefully pry it off while your hairdryer is still warming it. Works a treat Then clean the indentation with goo-gone or similar.

why so long? normally it's like a week and a bit...?

[Golf Houso]

why so long? normally it's like a week and a bit...?

standard air from UPS is 3-4 weeks, the other services cost ALOT more but will arrive in less days than there are fingers on your hand.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Maybe it will be less! I'm just taking a guess at a huge amount of time, firstly because i'm not in need of it, and secondly because our method we chose for shipping was very affordable and said 6-10 days but you can never trust those estimates haha.

[Lorenz]

When I chose to get my first order sent via USPS Express, it was here within 3 days of sending off the order. My second order took about 3.5 weeks in the end and that was just normal USPS AirMail. Glad your not in a hurry for the parts co you will be waiting a while Mickey

[DubSteve]

Thats bullpoop bro I did a order with Aaron a couple of months ago and it took like 7 days:S

[Lorenz]

Hmm well it seems to vary quite alot then... guess we will have to wait and see.
