Damo's Superb : Project Ginormica (aka Susan)


Damo

Recommended Posts

Damo, I had the wheel nuts problem once took a hard plastic scoure to them and they come up as new. Original cause was cheap car washing additives as I have only used quality cleaning liquids to wash the car since.

Nice car and badges as I have had three sets on my car in just under two years from new.

Hi Danny, pls can you define the following....., I had the wheel nuts problem once took a hard plastic scoure.....

I've got the same problem, and was wandering which cleaner to try.

Thanks.

 

I used liquid Jiff (sorry Cif) with the plastic scourer.

 

Came up a treat

Looks great Damo.

 

Might get the dealer to look at my badges when I take it in for the lacquer peel on the front bumper. When I find time that is!

Leon thought his Superb was high and needed lowering, looking at this picture of the rear yours is perhaps worse !!!!

Don't know if its because the 4x4 has different suspension but they both look similar. I've got 19's on at the moment too...

 

his could be higher because it can carry more too?? :P

Looks great in Black, what are you going to do about the steering wheel badge?! :)

Might get a gel badge overlay I guess

Not too fussed though, as that badge is still mint.

Would be nice to match them all up though

Ill take another pic of the rear arch gap.

It doesnt look that bad in the flesh... maybe a bad camera angle?

No way am I lowering it though either way

Are they the same size or bigger?

What's the paintwork like BTW

 

The one I have is bigger as it was originally to cover a previous Octavia's badge.

 

Might have to be a custom made job (or not bother lol)

 

Paintwork is generally good, just the usual poor wash technique swirling to be expected

 

Not going to wax it until I have it machine polished

Hello Damo, I think these new badges look great. How easy is it to change them, pls ?

 

Very easy

 

Take a look at Chan110's Audrey thread > http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/262973-i-found-my-superb-shes-called-audrey/page-42

 

Just heat them up with a hairdryer, and remove the residue

 

Break the lugs off the back of the new badges, as they are not needed and stick them on

 

Easy :thumbup:

Thnx for the info Damo, I was surprised to see the same pt no for the Boot & Grill. Must admit, I haven't checked the sizes yet, or to see if they're both flat etc.

I had an Octavia before, which had different sizes and curvature badges.

Could be just the angle both car and photographer - alongside the picture of Leon's plus the fact that he's on 19s it does look similar.

Had another look, and the arch gap does look just as high as in the pics...

Not too bad but definitely high

Hmmmmm.... Coilovers or air? :D

Only kidding, just have to cope with it
