Really wanted one of these but they dont sell em here in the uk.

So i thought i d have a go at making em.Well heres the finish items fitted










even redone the side badges



pretty easy to do......

parts require
old side badges x2
old badges x 2
drimmel
doudle sided tape
hair drier/heat gun
scalpel
file
carbon fibre look sheet
filler


first off using the drimmel remove the centre bar of the o/e badge.Once removed file the edges to match the angle of the inner ring of the badge.Add filler and refile to get the shape.


Once this is done the fun starts.Cut enough vinyle carbon fibre to cover the badge with spare.Heat and mould round the badge.Cut the remaining tape until happy and badge ring is completely covered.
Next (optional) cover the side badge centre in the same way using the heat gun to help mould it.Then just trim the areas you want to expose.


Now using the double sided tape apply to the rear of both bages.
Remove the tape backing from the side badge and insert into the inner ring of the o/e modded badge.



final stage remove backing from the o/e modded badge and refit to your zed.







Now sit back and congratulate yourself on saving all that money on buying em.

 

Sorry but that looks terrible, it looks like a dog chewed on your emblem.

 

yea...very clean...probly cheap too..

 

Very unique.

 

I think it looks great man!!!

 

Any clear coat or sealant on it? I wonder how durable that is? Looks good imo, but i like cf

 

They look really good.

 

your correct,they would benifit from a couple of coats of clear finish.

 

in for pics of badge w/ clear coat

 

Not bad at all. It draws more attention to the badges than I prefer but it looks like you did a good job with it.

 

nice job
