Nice car mate. Was just wondering how you removed the rubber strips and was it hard?

Cheers

Removing the strips was easy. Get a hairdryer on them to help soften the glue, then use a credit card to get under one of the ends. Then slowly peel the strip off, using the hairdryer to soften the glue as you go.

I was lucky and all the glue came off with the strips

Lot better with the strips off m8. Looks good

I am thinking about getting Red badges for the front and back. What do you all reckon will look better? Should I stick with the Blue badges on a blue car or should I go for red ones?

 

[marty61]

Ive just changed mine (see below), blue ones looked c**p on my red car. IMO the blue ones look ok on yours, but if you want it to look up to date then get red ones.

Yeah the red ones def look better on yours. I like the fact that the blue badges match the car, but I like the look of the red badge better.

I think I might just get them and see what they are like. If I'm not impressed I can always flog them!

Dont stick the rear one on till you're sure you like them, just sit it in the recess on the tailgate and decide. Better to sell them with the adhesive intact

Yeah, to be honest I think I might stick with the blue ones. Probably going to look better on a blue car! Definitely going to get it lowered...probably try and get that done next month.

I want to colour code the door handles as well but not sure how to do it to be honest! Not sure what else really...I need ideas/suggestions!

 

[SAAAAAAM]

id personally say an upgrade on the wheels aswell..i do like the grande 17's they would look sweet with it lowered aswell..ill try and find a pic of what i meen.....

Cheers Ashy7 will have to try that and i definately think that the blue badges look better with a blue car.

Yeah, I quite like them wheels. There is a set for sale on the forum at the moment so I might look into it.

looks a lot better with red badges, mine came with them:

 

[ashy7]

I am thinking of buying a set of 17" Alloys from a GP Sporting. Do all the GP wheels come with the same rolling radius?

As you can see from the pics the I have 15" alloys on mine and it would help if the radius was the same!

 

[Tris Harris]

yeah because the tyres are of a lower profile.

Cheers for that mate.

Like the look of the red badges as well, think I might get some to try after all!

yeah, and they look even better in real life, the pictures dont really do them justice!

 

[ashy7]

Removed the Punto badge from the back of the car. I think it looks better, but is it too plain?
