Nice touch. Old friend of mine had a little trick for doing such things - use a modellers small paint roller and gently run it over the top of your embossed logo, that way you get nice smooth edges and an even paint finish. In this case you'd need to mask off the surrounding area is it's raised also, but perfect for this kind of job
Thanks Mooster, good tip too, I'll use that method next time
I done a few jobs on the DTM over the past few weeks. This is the first chance I had to upload any progress.
I've been collecting various parts that were missing or broken.
Another part that was missing was the engine and gearbox undertray. I managed to bag both genuine trays for £45 delivered.
Engine tray.
Gearbox tray.
Both in good used nick, but in need of some TLC. But I ain't going to fit them to my car looking like that am I...!!
After alot of APC and scrubbing. (both of my kids helped too!)
Not perfect, but much cleaner and worthy of going under my car!
Another little upgrade! RS4 Alloy pedals! Also used on the Special Ed Audi A4's. Again bargain find on eBay!
In need of a little cleaning.
Then after APC'ing and a brush.
Yeah, they're a little worn but that's in keeping with the car.
The original set up.
Foot rest removed.
After fitting the new rest (which any monkey could do!). It was onto the pedals. What a faff getting them off and then on Jeeezus!
There you go all done, much posher now!
