I've still got painting to have done which will be when I get next month because I did hellish amounts of overtime! Anyway here's how she's looking at the moment....
Yeah they look good but are a bit big. I've been putting off sticking them on because i'm a bit scared it would make it look like a fake 16v rather than a genuine one. I think i'm going to get some new standard badges, old ones were battered
If you are going for a smooth look, I'd take the badges off. If you are trying to get it to look OEM+, buy some new ones. They'll freshen it up a treat.
Aye it's got no badges on it and i've smoothed the rear panels under the brake lights into the wing. Looks far too bare, i'll get some original badges for it
Thought i'd pop up some engine bay pics. First one is pic from the advert just before I bought it, second was was taken the weekend..
