As days goes by, everyday I think how can I improve the look with a few money spent, and came up with spraying my rear badge/emblem black. My rear lights are black, so I thought it would match a bit. I'm not sure if it goes with the silver tho.. Any thoughts? Edited by matth190, Tue May 5, 2009 9:18 pm.

i think it will give good contrast with the silver if they were painted black. |

No dont worry about the boot. It wasnt closed properly. I was trying out the lights. If you look closer to the lights, the left light is darker than the other one. Was tryin out the difference before I continue. I dont really wish to de-badged it, but if someone could photoshop me one debadged and another one with the star only (both of them black) I'll be happy!

Longest build time in history?

The Reb Brabus MBZ 6 has a black star, and looks very mean. I am probably going to do it on mine too, although i'll need to get a black Nurburgring sticker to replace my silver one. ![]() One thing i have done for a quite a few people, I think Carl, Shrekky and Dave from what i can remember (can't find any photos at the moment) is re-enamble the front blue/silver/white badge on the grill just in black. Leaving the silver parts, painting over the white star, and the blue surround in humbrol gloss black and then scratching the lines back to silver and covering with a good few coats of clearcoat for protection. I don't know why but i thought it made such a difference and was really proud of it. Small things..... lol Just a thought if you were bored.... lol Mart
