Re-Badge

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Well, not quite, but as we had a De-badge topic... any suggestions about what to use to touch up a badge with faded/cracked silver paint on it?

I got one of those silver paint pens you get in arty type shops - worked great on the side repeaters and makes it really easy just to 'draw' over the raised section of the badge.

I also got a white pen to touch up the markings on the infocentre switch etc...

I used silver paint on the repeaters and white paint from Halfords on the mud flaps.
