[riggsy]

looks cool mate what did you use to stick them back on with?

yeh get that rear wiper off smileys/smiley2.gif

[shaggers_saxvtr]

Cheers Guys smileys/smiley16.gif Stuck the badges back on with a little bit a glue and the bonding material they initially were held on by - if you are careful you can leave the sticky tape on the boot and peal the badge off it - put a tiny bit of glue inside the badge and place it back on when dry and it works fine!
Funny you should say get rid of the rear wiper...Look what I did last night....:

Not the best pic I know and I need to get a smaller gromit and this one is a bit too big! smileys/smiley2.gif

smileys/smiley4.gif good stuff mate, looks alot better now smileys/happy.gif

However - a tip, if you do your badges (this is what I'm gonna do) clean them up well firstly and clean all the sticky tape of the boot and polish it up - hopefully Citroen can provide the sticky tape for the back of the nadges to stick them on with because although the wy I did it works fine - its hard to clean the dirt out smileys/smiley13.gif ! So by removing all the tape, polishing it and putting new on - the job will then be puuuuurfect smileys/smiley2.gif

Im sorry but spraying your badges looks tacky imo, the only time i seen it work was on artnmotion's car, he sprayed them white on blue. Sorry...

[shaggers_saxvtr]

Thats foz's VTS from SSC, hes a good lad, sprayed my interior bits and mirror caps. smileys/smiley20.gif

[mattwesty]

i prefer them in std silver on a black car tbh.

[Hopcraft]

nice, i like it black on black, much better imo, and even better with the wiper off, jus need to pull your exhaust up a lil, looks a bit saggy.

[willerbyvts]

they look great smileys/smiley17.gif is that a universal exhaust mate coz its hugeeeeeeeeeeeee smileys/smiley3.gif ?

[shaggers_saxvtr]

lol! Thanks Guys smileys/smiley4.gif IMO it looks better - well its different now and I think it looks better.And, yes, I think it is universal (made by fire hill/fire hell..?) - its rather louad, that and an induction kit!

[Dan]

I think they look nice but I would change the rear lights matey.

[shaggers_saxvtr]

Cheers mate - the lights on it are smoked ones, I quite like them as they tie in with the black! But I also have these smoked chroms lexus lights (what are your thoughts on them guys...??!)
These are the ones that are mine, the black ones were my mates, they dont look to bad when looking at the back of the car normally - this pic doesnt do them justice, although I think I prefer the black lights...:

Let me know what you think...! smileys/smiley2.gif

[Bakes_vtr]

i think the badges look quite good imo!

where do you get the gromit thing to put in the hole once your have taken the wiper out the back?

[shaggers_saxvtr]

Thanks boss smileys/smiley2.gif
I went to Halfords, however the one I have is not perfect and sort of bulges out a bit! 25mm is too big, think the size you need is nearer 20mm, I ended up getting an assortment of gromits!
Good Luck if you are doing the same!
