Hi, had a bit of time to spend on my car today & as I couldn't stand looking at the manky wheel badges any longer I removed the wheels & fitted new ones.
So much better, I even gave the car a wash :P




Got to love those bonnet lines :thumbsup:

You removed the wheels.....to put new wheel badges on??
Am i missin something rob?
 
Hi Rob,

The badges should come off without removing the wheels I think !!

Where did you get your badges from and how much did you pay ?

Hi Ben, they're only cheap ones from eBay-less than £10 I think? I usually change them every year or so to keep the car looking fresh :thumbsup:

You said you'd fitted new ones and they were so much better Rob.... surely that would involve putting bigger wheels on and not just new badges :poke:

I was very careful with the amount of water used, didn't want my wheels to shrink any further :poke:

Can recommend these. They have the same look as a bonnet badge with a thick plastic covering, unlike most which are basically a bit of cheap tin plate painted.

The only problem I found with those were that they only have 5 locating pins and dont sit tight in the wheel.
I added a few blobs of silicone to stop them from spinning.
