I want to replace my pink `i` grill badge on my blob with a blue `i` one. Has anyone got one to sell / fancy a swap or know where I can source one? All I`ve found so far is the blue `star` one Cheers.

 

Make your own:
Soak badge in Wickes Paintbrush cleaner overnight, rubing any paint left on off the next morning with an old toothbrush and rags.

Repaint whatever colour you like, and as the paint is going on from the rear, no need to worry about brushmarks, perfect finish guaranteed

Humbrol enamlels are good and don't fade, or try that stuff in little bottles, ColourKote?
EnamelKote?

 

As above

 

But what if I`m lazy

 

Get your Mrs to do it for you. If you don't have one - ask a neighbour

 

Even less chance of her doing it :-)

 

i did it. just sanded the pink paint off with fine wet and dry. then painted it again but different colour

 

It's actually a good idea. I could even do that to keep in with my blue and white theme :-)

 

Btw, does the badge just prise off?

 

It sort of cuts off by sawing a piece of twine, dental floss or fishing line behind it, then replace the pad with one for a numberplate, sold in car shops.

I'd soak the paint off, less chance of damaging the rear of the badge so you get a good finish

 

this is probably a better idea than when i sanded it. i had to be really careful so as not to damage the chrome bits on the badge.

 

Aaah right that makes sense Cheers.

 

RESULT..........I removed the pink badge with some string (cheers alcazar) and found this (note the "quality" of the replacement ).............

 

Thought you were going for a blue "i"?

 

I was mate, but I`m just as happy with the one I "found"

 

It's totally different to original mate ???
Get oe one painted

 

What`s totally different?

 

The blue badge IS different to the black one pictured above.

The stars are wider on the black one, for a start.

 

It's dark blue not black :-) I thought that was the original one cos its not just 'stuck on' :-/
