seen a few threads about painting these so thought, sod it, i'll give that a go got some carbon fibre at work, so that dissapeared
overall i'm well chuffed it was looking a bit of a disaster halfway through laying it up so when i took off the masking tape i was pleasantly surprised!!

some pics:-

badge off and cleaned up


masked off with carbon fibre ready to go


you WILL stick you b'stard


into the baking oven


TA-DA, carbon fibred badge


some back in the grille









it's a bit rough around the edges, but you can hardly see once it's back in the grille. pretty good few hours work

good job there mate looks nice
you would have never been able to do that with the scoobyparts badge

no, reckon you're right there mate. good bit of helpfull advice you gave me there

as it was, the badge i won off ebay hadn't turned up by the weekend so had to grab the bull by the horns and take off my original badge. glad it turned out ok as the ebay one is a pink jobbie

PM sent might well end up on the car to be honest, mine looks to have dried with a few air holes in around the edges must do better next time

gljam - polyester resin mate. clear gel coat then layed up with normal poly resin. just the same as fibreglass (just a bit of a **** to lay up anything other than flat surfaces! not really the process to use around tight edges and corners to be honest, but you can get some half decent results with a bit of patience)

nice job - just to say you can get the newage JDM oem version of these from Cheam motors, group buy on the go on Surrey Scoobies at the moment..

Bartop
