I say wrapping would be easier. I wrapped my front badge in cabon fibre vinyl wrap and is still going strong coming 7 months. One less hassle of spraying it again to cover all the stone chips

i am interesting in the wrapping idea, how did you do it? the badge seems to be quite intricate, is there 'a how' to anywhere? ?

If you can wrap with skill i say wrap is well then but its tricky gettting a nice smooth finish

Yeah the wrapping was a real p*** take tbh. Basically the chrome bit unclips from the plastic bit using a jewellers tool but be careful as them clips are very brittle.
Then its just a case of using a hair dryer and a stanely knife to cut the excess off. I'll post a pick in the morning.

thanks man your a real help!

yeah the wrapping is the better option imo, ive done a few badges and yeah theyre a little fiddly but like someone has said they dont chip like paint does

i say the wrapping is easiest. ive done both my badges in carbon and its fine.. easiest way to do it is keep the vinyl warm with a hairdryer and stretch and your fine

you can buy a black badge ffor £12.50, i got one and looks good also.. i had to get one because my carbon one got stolen!!!!!!

where can i get a black badge from??

word of warning. take the grille out to put it in, me being half asleep snapped one of the clips and now have it cable tied in
