Popped in to my local branch the other day and they didn't seem to have any colour codes for S which I thought was odd. Link to comment
marky.t.s Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 i take it its the orange wedges youre talking about on a classic ? i gave them a rub down with fine sandpaper and sprayed them with matt black Halfords paint,i think this looks better what with the black grille and matte black area at the radiator under the number plate,if you get my drift.I take it youre colour coding then?

StewartyBoy Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Heres how mine were. I painted them silver and blackened out the indicators. The indictators being black made it look like there was just a gap there. Edited June 2, 2009 by StewartyBoy Link to comment
actionslax Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 Nice, they defo look better in silver! Your number plate that you got there. How do you get it down to that size? That's another on my list of things to do. Link to comment
