Dechromed look complete

[Ianmc]

Dechrome completed today with fitment of black radiator grill.

Rear previously done (removed badges)

Nothing to do on side

Shadow chrome wheels next (like originals so will have them refinished) and a 30mm drop (H&R springs i'm thinking). All assuming a replacement cat gets it through the MOT tomorrow of course! These little cars are great fun to personalise for a bit of work and a few quid.

I would be very tempted to add some carbon effect badges and lose the blue and white.

That's a thought. Personally don't like carbon stuff, but a darker edge on the badges might work well, thanks.

I think you can find Matt black ones too Ian.

Will have a hunt, thanks Tony

Have just found a full set of black badges on ebay for £16.99 (front, rear, 4x wheels and steering wheel) including delivery. Seems very (too?) cheap so hope quality is acceptable - worth a punt though!

Most replacement badges are fairly inexpensive Ian but the thing is, if they don't last like OEM they're not expensive to replace either to maintain the "look".

Good point, thank you.
