Northen Rolla Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 "Lucky your with"......... oh hang thats AAMI.... sorry, my bad :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitephyre Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 AMI = Australian Motor Industries... the company that used to assemble Toyota's here in the 60/70/80s until toyota took over local production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjenman Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yeah that... I took that off my ex ke20 project car and smoothed it over... As well as the toyota badge on the back. Tip: Bog a 5 cent peice on the inside of badge screw holes and sand over the top then paint for a dodgy shave! Worked a treat for me. I'm a debadger. Someone said to me once that there are two types of people: badgers and debadgers. Debadgers like baby smooth keyhole-less door panels and blank boot lids, badgers put "GT-R" on thier R33 GTS-t...

Corolla_Kid Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Yep I'm a de-badger for sure. VN commo boot solenoids work well on ke20 bootlids if anyone is interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldephyre Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I like my v6 badge :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I must be a badger (haven't badged yet, but have badges waiting to be applied). However I do like the look of de-badged cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruts Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I'm a debadger - if only I could work out how to grind out or fill the corolla lettering in the hatch handle. I'll post a pic and be happy to take suggestions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 um, bog it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruts Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 um, bog it? yeah bog is an option but can you effectively bog plastic ? and then I'd have to sand it ALL smooth or it would look weird and having it smooth would look weird because all the other plastic bits are textured.

dysolve Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 (edited) fixed it and all i used was a jack hammer and a chain saw :) Edited July 19, 2005 by dysolve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruts Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 mmmm much better - although I think you need to get acquainted with the clone tool in Photoshop - he is far more gentle than a chainsaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysolve Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 cut and paste works fine for me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 yeah, bog it and smooth it back, bog again if you need to it's hard to sand bog on plastic because they both are different hardnesses, a power sander is too imprecise, you'd be best to use a sanding block and do it by hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
