De wiper and new badge?

[RyanC93]

Hi what's people's thoughts on de wipering these cars?

And does anyone know what the best way is to get rid of the chrome badge and change it to black?

Cheers

Dewiper-ing shouldn't be an issue, just get a black rubber grommet off fleabay to go in the hole. Ive done it on most of my past cars without any issues. Just make sure the grommet is a really snug fit.

Yeah I've just one of eBay for £2.50 Which is a perfect size , just going to look for a guide on here , and I'm tempted just to get the s badge at the back sprayed black , company's around here want £50 to wrap it ..

I'd imagine it is just a case of removing the boot lid trim and disconnecting and removing the wiper motor. Then you will need to block the tube that supplies the washer fluid. Used a golf tee in the past, but it is up to you how you do it.

Shouldn't cost to much to get a badge sprayed black, find out when they are spraying another car in black and get them to do it then if you are friendly with the sprayer. Wont have to buy extra paint then.

I wrapped my badge gloss black, it's easy to do with a bit of patience and a hairdryer

For the badge, PlastiDip. Got it on my wing mirrors, take a look at my Readers Ride thread if you like, no need for primer or laquere just another can of glossiffier if you don't want it the standard Matte black colour and prefer a gloss black. Holding up really well for me and really easy to do especially considerin I have no experience in spray painting and if you don't like it or mess up you just peel if off and start again, no consequences!

There's a de-wipering kit on Facebook, it's £10 . It looks better than a rubber bung , it's flush and glass looking from what in seen

Just received mine through the post. Not sure how I am going to plug the washer tube.

Stick a golf tee in there.

I've just received my bung in the post yesterday and going to get it fitted today, think I'm just going to use putty and tie it away , and i think give plastidip a go for the badge at the back

Let's see some pics of the plastidip

I have had a can of plasti dip waiting to be used for a couple of weeks now. Need to do the surround on the linea-r grill, the FR badge and maybe the rear S badge.

All i did when i did my golf was get a self tapper same size as tube hole screw it in then got a little zip bab put it over the whole tube then zip tired it worked for me
