Howdy PPLS,
I just need a few ideas to the follwoing problem. I have recently bought some St scuff plates from the UK, and was under the assumption that i could take the ST part off as it looked like a sticker and replace it with ZETEC badges. WE THAT IS NOT THE CASE!!!!! They are actually pressed bent in to the metal so wont come off. i have pulled my brains out for weeks figuring out how to cover them up and put the new badges on without making any scratches marks or looking like a stingy job. I need some positive input here. Dont bother posting " HAHAHAH u should have bought the FIESTA ones" or " just leave it" as i will find u and hit u with my slippers. :jab: Suggestions that have been made are - just grind it down/ sand it down, then buff it.

HAHAHAH u should have bought the FIESTA ones :P
There really isn't much you can do griding down the letters wouldn't be a good idea cos you could grid to much off and put a hole in it. You could try pressing the letters back. |

Ok, presing the letters back arnt an option also as a) the plates are on the car, b) the back of the plates are smooth.

Are these scuff plates that sit where the door closes?
A photo would be handy for offering advice... It's hard to say without knowing what they look like or where they will be sitting, to say whether or not you could just put a Zetec badge/sticker over the top of the ST part or not. Or just leave them as ST and enjoy them for what they are. Tim |
