    hey all.. got bored today so decided to change the colour on my front glanza badge..


    **96 SPEC BUMPER**


    THINGS NEEDED

    --------------------

    1. small flathead screw driver

    2. small philips screw driver

    3. paint "your choice"

    4. fags & tea


    first thing to do is remove the grill from bumper to get to screw that holds badge in place...

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    NOTE; remove old adhesive/glue from badge and backing


    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    next you can scrape away the old silver paint using a small flathead screw driver

    now choose a colour for your glanza logo.. (i used blue).. once your have put the colour you choosed on and your happy thats it all covered and paint is dry, spray the whole back of the badge black.. use a few coats..this will bring up the colour you used and cover the rest of the back of the badge.. once this is done and paint is dry its time to secure the badge back onto the backing.. epoxy resin or tiger seal will do.. once glue is set, remount it to the car and put back on grill..

    jobs done.. a simple little mod for the exterior styling of your glanza...



    :)

  3. the badge will pop out.. get a small screw driver in behind it and prise it off... all you do then is remove the paint from the glanza bit with a small flat head screw driver ot what ever fits... paint the glanza bit what ever colour you want.. let dry, then spray the whole backing black... some sealant to pop the badge back into the holder then


  4. Thats the thing with these cars, on some sales ads a lot of the spec list is pure shit. Theres been loads of funny ones recently haha.

    Also whilst were taking about gearboxs. 5th gear casing on FTE boxes, should it be steel or alloy ?

    on the GT's they are steel painted black.. on glanza's they are alloy

  5. ok... the OEM factory lsd gearbox had the LSD on the outside of the box.. easy to see



    this is a stock gearbox but there could be a aftermarket LSD inside the box..



    OEM LSD = outside of gearbox on drivers side "easily seen"


    aftermarket LSD = inside the gearbox, "cant be seen"



    as mentioned above, the easiest way to check to see if a gearbox has a "aftermarket LSD" is to jack up the front of the car and spin one wheel by hand.. if it "has" a aftermarket LSD, the other wheel will spin the same direction.. if the other wheel spins the opposite direction, its a stock gearbox/stock diff...



    theres no drives in the picture, to be 100% sure, pop out one of the inner joints from the gearbox and look into the box.. if you can see a bar, its stock.. if you can see straight through or if theres a plate theres a aftermarket LSD in there....
