These look good…

Just concerned about destroying the factory items if I put these black ones on and they look like garbage after 6 months of UK weathering!

Hi all,

How about using Plast Dip? It looks like a very easy process.

I have ordered a can from Amazon and try it one sunny afternoon.

I have a can I bought a few years ago.

Considered it for the Volvo but wanted a gloss finish to the badges to match the rest of the trims and my can is matte. Seem to remember you need a separate glossifier if you wanted a gloss finish. Not sure if that’s still the case.

New genuine ones are about £50 for the set so Even if that does happen, you could just replace them again for genuine

Correct with the glossifier but it doesn’t look all that good. I was going to Do that but wanted the piano black finish

Plasti Dip does now come in gloss too.

Badges arrived this morning, 3 weeks from ordering.
I must say they look very good. All I need now is the car 😫

Still not fitted mine!

Want to do it when the car is clean and tend to wash mine Sunday evenings, then can't be arsed.

Maybe I'll have a go at removing the OEM ones tomorrow - might as well make some use of this heatwave.

Finally changed mine today…
