Black Badges Chav?

Junglist · 7 Oct 2020 at 08:59

Guess it depends on the colour of the car. Bright yellow or white? Then black badges would look cool. Dark car? Probably rather nothing if it's black or nothing

edit: funnily enough an A45 is the car I want to get next year (second hand as I'm a pauper) so if it was my car I'd go with black badges if the car was black or white, i'd not bother if it was a different colour

Thank you, those were exactly my thoughts prior to putting them on. Ties it all together nicely.

Yeah, I reckon they look decent.

floatindolphin · 7 Oct 2020 at 13:32

to be fair, they don't look too bad.

Please don't black out the front main Mercedes grill logo, now that looks bad!

If you're trying to hide your number plate, you didn't do a very good job.

Looks decent, works alright with the green.

How come, how can I improve it?

So I am actually so pleased with the result of this I am thinking of adding some rose gold bits to the interior of the car. Want to stick to the theme of keeping it classy and low key.

Why is it so hard to put badges on a.) straight and b.) with the correct spacing?

If I can do it with a £500 Datsun surely people can manage it with a £30K Mercedes? :confused:

I used the original placement by Mercedes as a guide and marked it out with tape. The issue was that Mercedes placement was wonky from the factory looking back at pics, this has led to my 'A 45' being off. The AMG I made adjustments too.
I adjusted spacing as I was not keen on stock with the 'A 45' spread. Also not sure why they have the 'A 45' higher than the AMG from the factory.

Edit: Also please come do my badges lol

It actually looks alright in the second pic, the angle of the first one makes them look wonkier.
