Yeah. Something to do with hating chrome on cars. The S is going to be a test piece for wrapping something intricate. If it is too fiddly then paint is the answer.

I think I have something very like that in a double sided tape, once applied it's there forever. Job for the weekend.

IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS
Replied by Max Headroom on topic Bonnet S
Here you go, Lambert
Here's what it looks like when removed.
The manufacturer's glue was mostly around the edges on mine. so you will need to gently prise it off a little at a time, carefully working around it . Mine was on pretty solidly - but you may find yours is different. Looking at it closely again the glue might have been that sticky foam stuff often used for car badges - Im sure you will know what I mean by that.
Pictures showing reverse side of badge and how thin it is. No lugs on the rear - it's flat. Hope this helps

Norway 2005 Jimny M16A VVT, 235 BFG MT, 2" Trailmaster, ARB rear lck, 17%/87% high/low gears.
I do not like chrome either. I just rubbed the chrome with a 3M pad and brush painted. Tapping it with the tip of the brush left no brush marks. Will do the same to the other badges some day. Or just remove them maybe.Lambert wrote:

I would debadge the back door but management are against that. The other alternative is to replicate the lettering in vinyl, that way I get yellow and they still have the badges, kinda.
