Hi all,
So I was sick of the crappy faded/scratched badges on my NL and decided to use some downtime at work to jazz them up a little. I scanned a spare badge into the computer then started playing around with the design. (sorry for the image quality, took a photo of the screen)  The badge is identical in size for the wording and design, only the black contour is different. I measured everything with calipers to make sure, then went ahead with changing the colours and style. Sorry for taking the liberty of making it GT-351 colours but I couldn't resist!  The "custom" was traced from an image of some Ford custom badges, not sure of the year or what model they are off, I just liked the design.And here is the finished product:  Once again, sorry for the poor quality of the picture and the dirtiness of the car, I was in a bit of a rush! Anyway, for me this has achieved two things: Firstly, I now have a unique set of custom decals and secondly I no longer have to worry about dirt build-up around and in between the badge. Cheers, Smithy |

They look very cool.
Would you be able to do other colours and without "Custom"? Some of the guys in the club might be interested.

The carbon fibre was a trial run, we do car wraps and I wanted to see how hard it would be to carbon fiber wrap a complicated shape like a mirror. It looked good for a couple of days, but I'm having trouble with it lifting so I am going to remove it and just spray the mirrors, I'm thinking of going gloss black. Also this particular wrap is a texture matt finish so not good for the amount of bug guts that get splattered across it!
Cheers, Smithy |
