Title: carbon fibre badges
Post by: JDM82 on 10 April 2011, 22:28

Ive removed my A4 and 1.8T badges but they have left the outline which will be murder to remove so I thought instead of replacing the standard chrome badges Id do them in carbon fibre.
I cant find carbon fibre badges anywhere?????????????
Next I thought id use quality carbon fibre sheet and cut round the badges with a stanley blade, will this work??? I mean will it stick to my exterior bodywork and stay stuck?
Which carbon fibre sheet do you suggest I use, there's loads on ebay and I don't wanna buy junk  :grin:

Lots of people recommend the 3m Di-noc stuff

I've gone for this stuff though
