the silver writing is in a groove so the chances of you rubbin that down are slim. give it a go , its not astho they cost a fortune

Haven't got any green ones, but here's some I made ages ago to sell on (and never got round to )
All done using the old 80's sized badge. Some chrome/silver is not great close up (and cannot colour match it very well) but overall is good.
Black, grey, white, red and clear. Had a clear one on my S2 and was a subtle but noticable difference.

Yes it bloody is, Alex wasnt messing with you.

Try it. It works. Done it plenty of times.

Unless your doing it with an angle grinder you will get the blue off but the ford badge stays on.

No masking, no fucking about.

april Not a lot. Certainly not the Ł10 for the pink ebay one. Badges cost me Ł1 each, plus paint and time for sanding down. The fronts of the badges are all smooth too as I have micro-meshed them down to a factory-smooth finish. But like the pink one, the chrome isn't brand new finish: some edges are missing due to wear & tear from being on the cars. Some people have used brand new badges to do this with for their car..but at Ł8 per badge from ford starts getting expensive if I was to do that, so I used 2nd hand ones. Prob around the Ł3 plus post.

6 Red
4 White
4 Grey
4 Black
1 Clear (or any colour that someone wants to finish off with their own paint: Miss Fiesta )
plus 3 or 4 old shade blue that are original un-tidied condition.

Miss Fiesta Turbo It isn't that difficult if you take your time. The hardest bit is using the different grades of micro-mesh (or could use sandpaper) to get a very clear finish and not scratched frosty look. If you had the green you wanted I can supply you with one that is already clear
