Help with a how to

[David]

can anyone help me out with how to smooth my bonnet (debadge it)?

[Connor]

Need to weld a plate in place, then filler to smooth it off and paint. You will also need to smooth the grill

[David]

iv got the smoothe grille on order. is the other part hard?

[Connor]

Not hard at all if you can/know someone to weld a plate and if you know how to use filler

[Foxy-jim]

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

[Connor]

No you really do have to weld a plate in, take your badge off and you'll see what i mean

[David]

got mine off ebay for £10. what the best way to do it then because i can get someone to weld it easy.

[Connor]

Unbolt the badge, get a plate welded in and then use filler to get the final shape and smooth

[David]

great! thanks for the help, will be on the long list of things to do

[Foxy-jim]

Definitely weld the plate. If you don't the vibrations of shutting the bonnet will crack the filler!
