Minor change = amazing improvement!

#1: Minor change = amazing improvement! Author: DSWR, Location: Solihull PostPosted: Tue Aug 13, 2013 3:26 pm

Hey, Everyone!

Just put the bonnet back on my peugeot! had the bonnett smoothed so it's no longer got that little bump in for the bonnet hatch and also the pug badge. Had to lower the badge which weren't a problem. Slightly awkward to open the latch. Just a pen or something to push it up from the side. Will make a little bracket for it sooner or later but right now I've got bigger problems (clutch is slipping big time!)

 


Just wondering if anyone else likes this look? I think it makes the car look a lot nicer! I know some people do this and remove the dragon and also connect up the second bit but I think the badge looks real good there:)

After I've replaced the clutch, I'll hopefully be buying new front and rear bumper trims for the colour coded quick silver versions. I've just purchased the sides which I'm not sure whether to put on yet or not, opinions on this?? Shall I leave them off or just wack them on for now?:)

If you've gone to that effort, surely go badgeless? It looks alright but the gap in the original bonnet kinda competes how the badge sits imo, mirrors the shape of the bottom of the badge.

I think the gap really ages the car on. Just like the insides do. It all screams 90s! If you look inside a Corsa C of the same age as my car, you'd think it was from 2010+. I think the badge really suits to the silver car. If it was a black car or so, I'd have probably considered removing it completely like you say. Got a few modifications to make still, but the clutch needs doing first:)

must admit your need to remove the badge to make it stand out really

You could say that about the majority of visual modifications.

I don't want it to stand out. I just wanted it to look flush. Idea was to make the car look slightly more modern and I feel it worked:) Cheap to do, and does make a good difference. I know it's nothing major but it's something you rarely see done, especially with a badge still on.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments:) glad it's liked!
