my carbon fibre backed grille badge
 

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:-

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:thumb:

good job there mate looks nice:thumb:
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:lol1:

if you got enough carbon fibre left mate id knock a couple more up and sell them on fleebay ud make a few quid as you dont see any badges like that on there:)

that looks cool mate, not many will have a badge with real carbon in it well done :thumb:

well, i've got this one coming from ebay and i've got a couple of ideas how to do a better job so might well see if it's marketable:)

i think it will be good luck if you give it a go:thumb:

Im liking that, looking :cool: :thumb:

That looks awesome!

COOL mate, i might have a go at that on my scoob tomorrow.

I like it..... looks cool...

That looks really good :thumb: would like one of them but i don't have a badge on my grille anymore ;)

quick question, what type of resin/glue did you use??

Elmer is going to be after you now for that mod :D

Looks great and very cool.

Oh no he wont,snot ghey enough for me;)

pm your addy and I'll send it on free gratis and for nothing,should look pretty cool after your carbon treatment:thumb:

Na, your right Elmer, theres no cerise in his badge :norty: :D

PM sent:thumb: 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 5hit 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..
