When mine were stolen I think I got the replacements from Graham Goode.

I did it!



Got pink grill badge and sti carbon bits from Graham Goode, carbon bits a bit pricey but it had to be done. Rallytech wing, colour coded sills, STI 7 headlamps, scoobysport exhaust and even STI badge on the back. Its quite hard for the un-intiated to tell the differences. Anoraks ofcourse would clock it!

Pink grille badge: do it yourself, cost £5. Remove existing badge with thin string passed behind it-dental floss is ideal. Remove paint from it by rubbing hard with a cloth soaked in Wickes paintbrush CLEANER. Repaint with paint of your choice colour etc, any type will do, brush finish comes out great 'cos you're painting the back of the badge--if you see what I mean? I used a tin of pink Japlac.
Stick it back on with double sided sticky pads for No. plates, available from car shops.
STi stickers: approach a local signwriter-mine had computer software, and was able to produce the STi badges in whatever colour I wanted, whatever size I wanted, rub-down vinyl ones, 3 for £5

Question

Alcazar,

Which bit of the badge do you actually paint?

Not over the front??? And can you still see the stars once it's painted?

Cheers,

Mark.

Ice_white: the paint is on the back. Once you remove the old stuff by rubbing with a cloth etc, the stars are not touched, but you can see through the badge. You then paint the back again, whatever colour you want. Some people have even used nail varnish with metal flakes! Do be careful though, as I guess that some paints, eg Hammerite, will attack the plastic of the badge and spoil the finish, as I said, I used a tin of Japlac.
Enamel paint would be best, followed by a car spraycan.

So just the bonnet scoop to go. I think Scoobysports did an STI scoop a little while ago.
A quick template and a spot of red paint will sort out the intercooler logo that can be seen through the larger scoop.

good luck

Grille badge - either diy (dead easy, even I can do it!!!) or dealer for £18 with SIDC discount.

Why do you want an STI badge on the back if its not an STI ?
