Help with a how to - David - 26-02-2012
can anyone help me out with how to smooth my bonnet (debadge it)?
Re: Help with a how to - Connor - 26-02-2012
Need to weld a plate in place, then filler to smooth it off and paint. You will also need to smooth the grill
Re: Help with a how to - David - 26-02-2012
iv got the smoothe grille on order. is the other part hard?
Re: Help with a how to - Connor - 26-02-2012
Not hard at all if you can/know someone to weld a plate and if you know how to use filler
Re: Help with a how to - Foxy-jim - 26-02-2012
Where dd you order the grill from? I ordered one offline an it doesn't fit properly.

You don't HAVE to weld a plate, there's a fair few ways of doing it, a metal plate behind would probably stop any filler etc. from sinking though
Re: Help with a how to - Connor - 26-02-2012
No you really do have to weld a plate in, take your badge off and you'll see what i mean
Re: Help with a how to - David - 26-02-2012
got mine off ebay for £10. what the best way to do it then because i can get someone to weld it easy.

Unbolt the badge, get a plate welded in and then use filler to get the final shape and smooth
Re: Help with a how to - David - 26-02-2012
great! thanks for the help, will be on the long list of things to do
Re: Help with a how to - Foxy-jim - 26-02-2012
Definitely weld the plate. If you don't the vibrations of shutting the bonnet will crack the filler!
