Simon,

I wanted to colour code the grills below the front indicators, so I already had a tin of DBM that I bought from my Subaru dealer, although it just came from the local motor factors. I guess Halfords would be just as good, if not better.

The reason I was asking about Lyneham - my wife-to-be's little sister and her husband are both based there, Stuart and Lisa ***. Well Lisa's now left to have family, and Stuart's over in Kuwait just now.

Last time we were down, we were lucky enough to get a look round a Herc, one of the older ones, not sure which model. Bl****y magic anyway. Made a very long drive home to a normal job.

How's about some piccies of the finished badge?

Edited to say I've just seen the pics of your car in the members gallery. That looks really good in that colour. Maybe colour coded badge as well instead of pink?

Mike.

Pink STi "I" or stars badge for front grille of MY00.

MikesWagon

If you've already got a stars badge, I'd paint it pink myself. But then I am a grippy Scot.

Will the pink not look funny on the nosecone of a Herc?

Mike.

SimonH

Mike - it would put the fear of god up the enemy

Didn't think you could repaint the back of the badge......

Simon,

there's a thread going around about this. I did mine a few months back, colour coded to DBM.

Carefully prise the badge off, I used a small screwdriver. Then just use some fine wet & dry, you'll be surprised how quickly the paint comes off. I put a few bits of masking tape around the front edges to prevent overspray, then just several light coats of paint. A sticky fix pad like the ones for rear view mirrors and it's back on, job done.

Think I took about 1hr in all, with Lorna's hairdryer helping the drying times.

So it it Lyneham you're based?

Mike.

SimonH

Cheers Mike, think I'll give it a go Any particular type of paint or is it just Halfords spray stuff?

PS. Yes to your last.

I have the pink sti badge. I have then wierd s shape one and the one with stars but i've fitted it on mine. I got mine from hong kong.

SimonH

Scoobaru2000 - is the "wierd S" one for sale perchance? Is it from an old shape car as the MY01 onwards have a different shape badge?

scoobaru2000

MY00????
sorry new to the scene of scoobynet.

i have the shape without facelift. i think i have the smaller badge size as i think they do them in two different sizes don't they??? my grill is not the honeycomb one.

SimonH

Sorry - MY00 = Model Year 2000 i.e. last of the old shape cars.

Front end like this:

mega_stream

So these badges should come off with some gentle levering?
I tried my and its not moving, feels like its going to crack.
Did you heat the badge before removing it?

scoobaru2000

sorry then. don't think it will fit. Mega stream, then badge is just stuck on simply with things like "sticky fix it's" like double sided tape. just comes up with the help of a flat headed screw driver. with my shape that is.

scoobaru2000

actually come to think of it, my friends got one after he changed his grill. offers?

SimonH

If your car isn't a new shaped "bug-eye" then the badge will fit my car. The badges are the same size on all the old shape scoobs... What year is yours?

SimonH

These are they:
