Tom, if you clean that car any more you will have it down to the primer

so my neighbours keep telling me

Because I am a.) Bored on a Bank Holiday and b.) a fussy anal git I decided that today would be the day I'd change the "Skoda" emblems on my vRS.

 

I don't like the new style badging on the older cars (personal preference and all that...) so I ordered a pair of emblems from TPS, took about 3 weeks to come as they were on back order. Same part numbers for the front and rear emblem.

 

The old original ones were delaminating and looked generally grotty,

 

 

 

Removing the rear badge left a tiny bit of glue behind, soon dealt with a hit of Tardis, then G101'd the dirt off

 

 

The lower area of the badge and just underneath had got some light scratches on so I broke out the wet sanding stuff and wet sanded the whole area, then machine polished it up with 3M compounds.

 

New badge just drops into the locating holes and looks 100% better. Gave the tailgate a good waxing then a coat of wet glaze 2.0 sealant.

 

 

Et Voila!!

 

 

 

I also did the front badge as well but you're probably bored enough by now....

 

Matt

Nice you old buffty tart

 

You really need a work thread on your car,knowing your quality of bodging

 

For anyone that liked Matt's steering wheel and gearknob I've seen them in the flesh and the pics don't do them justice 

 

I had a feel of the steering wheel, but as much as Matt tried to force my hand onto his knob I managed to not touch it............

So this is our work van.

I had the same lengthy discussion with a good mate of mine who's got a working class concours Golf Mk2 G60, I think the new style badging just looks out of place on the Mk1 Fabia.

 

Each to their own though!

That's strange - it's EXACTLY the same dent in the roof I got last week. And the same spot - really strange? What did that?

I think the new style badges suit the black magic better than any other colour for sure

At a meet through in Glasgow with R1 Davie.
