  • badge refurb

    I bought some new side badges for my Coupe at £25 a pop. So rather than throw the old pink ones i set about seeing if they could be repaired

    Here’s the offending item



    I removed the old faded decal



    Looking better already! - At this point i removed any old glue residue and cleaned afterwards with isopropyl alcohol



    I used some well chosen coloured vinyl



    And cut three 5mm strips



    And applied carefully



    The trimmed



    The old adhesive was removed from the back and then i used trim tape to replace





    Job done for pennies

      Hey, you don't want to sell them as kits do you? There was a guy on the US forums that did and was completely overwhelmed with orders - hasn't done any since as he doesn't have the time to dedicate to doing it...

      I'd certainly be interested in some..

        Its not the materials that are tricky its the trimming that can be in order to get a clean edge. PLus i suppose not everyone has adhesive remover and IPA either . Hmmmm

        OK with the blessing of the Moderators i may well offer a refurb badge service

        I'll check with the mods and take it from there
