I got my U vinyl wrapped in piano black to match the car.Hi yes thank you for advise, I have the same custom badge as the OP. So it does fit, I've been to the bodyshop and discussed the issues with them
.
They now think the badge should fit unless the original lion has pins in the legs near the feet, but I don't think thats the case.
So the badge should fit, however the silver U surround is an issue, as I'm not sure it can be removed from the base plate without showing a gap in the bonnet
So the body shop might just paint the whole area and just replace the lion with the lions head as per OP.
If the silver surround can be removed without the bonnet looking odd or a gap then they'll take the U shape off.
But I don't hold out much hope of this. If it can't be removed it'll be painted black as the car is.
It's a difficult peace to sort really but hopefully it can be made to look better.
Many thanks
yep got the U and my chrome arches done together.Thanks for that certainly an idea and would look good, but did you wrap the silver U too or did you have that removed?
Many thanks
