Glennc91 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Alright guys, Does anyone know if there are holes behind the rear badges?! i need to take mine off again, due to the idiots at the painters putting the Z on upside down. if there's no holes behind there, il have them heated off and sorted asap, if there is, then it might get a bit more complicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glennc91 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 hmmm, might need a little more persuasion from someone who's had some off, i'm also on the look out for some decent badges too if anyone knows anywhere good to get some. wouldnt mind a cheeky GT or GT4 badge on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cragus Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Yeah - did mine with tommy ks. UK cars do have holes on the rear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glennc91 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Ok so it turns out, half of the Z had been snapped off by some hoodlums outside the missus house over the weekend. what the little buggers are achieving by taking my Z is anybodies guess, but it just means i have been pushed into removing the badges. However, upon taking off the '350Z' it reveals that the people who did the body and paintwork have stuck the badge back on with superglue. yes that's right, actual superglue. so i now have 350Z written on the back of the motor with superglue. does anyone know how to separate superglue from paintwork?? i would upload a picture, but since upgrading to windows 7 i have no re-size tool for my photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glennc91 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 well the bodywork was done by a place in swansea, and unsurprisingly they aren't in business anymore. its going to leave a hell of a mess on the back there. you have to see it to believe it, i'm determined to put a picture up at some point this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasha@lazytrips Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I don't know as I don't have Windows 7, but you have yourself a resizing tool if you have MS Paint (Start -> Accessories since Windows 3.11 methinks There is a Image -> Stretch/Skew function. Bob's your uncle. i would upload a picture, but since upgrading to windows 7 i have no re-size tool for my photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
