SiCaln Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 i had holes in my bonnet when they took the badge off mate, so they have probably done it for you - apparently the back one has no holes dunno though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I thought the back ones were just bonded on most cars... don't take my word as gospel though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Yeah he mentioned on the phone there were holes. so should the rear just come off then, or would there be no laquer under it??Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 i'd imagine it'd have laquer under it... you may run into the same problem as taking off the bump strips though...Rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 Yeah man the bumper had to be cut to get them to fit...but sure that just makes it that bit more individual. Cheers.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 I guess u could mate aye, but i like the twin reversin lights, no1 will miss them and they lights up the area behind u better than 1 Gonna connvert the parcel shelf brake light.I've got the pics ready mate, but how do i resize them?? because i know u's dont like massive pics.
