Very nice indeed.. and obviously new bubble TVR badges... can I ask where you got them from.. seen a few on e-bay?
Also.. what paint did you use.. 2-pack?... and what colour.. std silver or something a tad darker may be?... very nice anyway..

Next door just had his done on his RS Focus thing... great chrome powder job I must say.. then the tyre fitted put the weights on the outside!!.. you know, thoes clip on things... said he had no opotion!!??....
I would have gone mad!!

which i just thinned with cellulose thinners then i used 2 pack laquer

these are centre badges they are 2mm bigger than the originals so i stuck them on top.
