what happened to ur rear lights?

thanks logistix, jazzy.

leaving the "POLO" on really suggested it was a 55bhp model

i used turtle wax to finish it off. the 1.2 badge came off in 30secs.
the POLO took about 5-10 mins as it was just out the cold garage.

o yeah , just noticed that the Golf has badges there!

(thx for reminding me

)
cheers

i hadn't put lacquer on my taillights when i spraypainted them, and the paint was slowly wearing off. so i sprayed a coat of clear lacquer but it turned out to look funny - it sort of "crystalized" the paint, probably i used something wrong.

maybe i'll go for a set of GT rear clusters now

back to this topic....

i used a hairdryer to heat up the badges and it didnt leave any sticky marks..

i was so surprised how clean it was. maybe its better when the car is fairly new? looks much smoother IMO now.
