hi guys, putting my saff back to std looking,

ambers are in, although not genuine ford, so may have to do something about that

new std size plate going on some day soon

now, the worst bit, some plonker has stuck a black ford badge on the back

i want the proper one

is it the light blue one i need ?

seen them on ebay but £20+ is a bit hefty, no one do anything else ?

i saw a thread where people re paint them ? if i got a good one and painted it light blue would it look right, being right tight here

just need some ideas folks

any pics would be cool !

 

Jimbo best thing to do is hunt around a scrappy until you find some, be careful in removing as the coloured part comes off on the adhesive then they are fucked but if you get it off ok you can clean the front up with light polish.

I put dark blue newer style on mine just to be different

 

yeah not a bad idea may have to pop up there, only thing our scrappy dosnt have much of the old stuff, will have a search

what model of fords would have them ??

if i dont get one it may be normal blue for me too !

 

Jimbo, Jimmy has some brand new genuine ambers for sale if your not happy with wot you have.

Steve

 

do you know how much ?

im not un happy at all theyre very good and new but not genuine, dunno if im getting abit anal about some lights ?

will pm him if you dont know what hes after !

 

Cant find any on eBay have you got the link? Don't mind paying 20 quid if they're new have you tried any rs breakers?

 

ive just searched 32 pages and didnt put them in my ebay

dont know if they were new though

 

Ok mate I'll have a hunt round aswell if I find some I'll pm ya.

 

thay do the brand new correct size black 1s on ebay for a fiver, ya could re paint them in a simular light blue colour?

 

Yes light blue is correct, they are also a fraction smaller than the dark blue boot ones, think it was 6-8mm or so when I measured them, you can get a perfect repainted badge if you take your time.

Steve

might have to have a go !

ok thanks, do you know the correct size in mm i need ??

Steve

 

im with ya now cheers bud will fly a pm over

 

you are being anal about the ambers

god i remember years and years ago painting the ford badges for a mates rs turbo - what fun that was - we went from blue to black

 

cheers mate lol !

i would like gen ones if some pop up one day but im very happy for now !

back in the day you dont think about the future, just think them black ones now worth 50p are worth £30
