Title: Today's little mod is..............
Post by: mowlamb on 06 February 2011, 14:13

The bit behind the VW badge on the front grill. I've seen these done different colours and think it looks good so decided to do mine in reflex silver. I'm not sure if it stands out enough. What do you guys think?

I'm hoping once I've given it a good clean it might stand out a little more. Poor car is filthy at the mo.

This silver will look a lot better with the black badge, it's a nice little touch.

The badge is now black. Thoughts? Think I prefer it black  :grin:

I bought the grill from a member on here I think it was. It was already black they are easy enough to spray tho is I sprayed my original one reflex silver but then decided I preferred the black.

I think it would look better with the backing black and the badge reflex silver  :lipsrsealed:

i seen the first pic and was gonna say try painting the badge black, lol

looks good, bit like what im gonna do to my badge, but mine will be red instead of silver (blue car, so will stand out)

This is the picture that made me decide I wanted to do it. I would have done a different colour but that would mean redoing my grill and mirror covers.

I think it would need the black backing to work though. Dont know if thats what you did before.

I was lookin at that thread on UK-Iv's or ED38 earlier and thought his would look better without the backing red, grilles look spot on though  :afro:

Before I did this I was going to get the Reflex Silver badge an put it on the all black grill but never did. Then decided to give this a go today. The good thing about doing it in vinyl is it can come off if needed.
