De chroming time!

[Shane redfearn]

Had the car a few month now and the chrome is starting to really bug me if I'm honest! [emoji23][emoji23] some people might slate me for that but hey ho! IM thinking of doing the front grill plus badge and also the spot light surrounds.
The chrome strip above the windows Is something Iv thought about but not quite sure yet! And also the rear badge so........ PLEASE POST PICTURES OF YOUR DE CHROMED INSIGNIA'S!! [emoji1360][emoji1360]

Let me be the first to slate you. I prefer them to have some chrome for contrast. But each to their own.....I'm sure Blue Peter ( PeteH ) will be along shortly to give you his sticky black plastic advice.

Thought for a minute you was saying chrome cleaner needed so as to give it good polish.

Thanks for that, marko301.
You've seen my de-chromed grille and fog lamps in the flesh at Rother Valley, Shane, but here's a reminder for you:

I kept the badge chrome, as I think it needs some contrast, although I do wonder how it would look with a red background?
I thought you'd de-badged your tailgate? In which case, it's only the gryphon that remains chrome. You could try spraying it I guess, it will peel off easily if you decide you don't like it. I'd stay away from the sticky back plastic, though, too many contours (and we'd never hear the end of it from Marko!)

Its GRIFFIN Pete......ffs

Found this on Google:
Gryphon is an alternative form of griffin.
As nouns the difference between gryphon and griffin is that gryphon is (griffin) while griffin is a mythical beast having the body of a lion and the wings and head of an eagle.

So gryphon is (griffin)..???

Yeah Pete that's right yeah I remember now! That's what Iv got its the K2 gloss black off eBay

[PeteH]

I used Frost liquid vinyl for the grille 'wings', and vinyl wrap off eBay for the fog lights. Isn't your grille surround chrome too? May need to spray that.

Well.......maybe you should contact the big bosses at VX and get them to rewrite their history.

As since Vauxhall started, their emblem was a GRIFFIN......not a GRYPHON.

Maybe it's a Scottish thing, y'know, the way they spell 'whiskey' wrong

I'll treat that with the contempt it deserves.

I've had a little play and this is what it will look like with a red background





I've also done you a personalised Griffin

[PeteH]

Hmmm, a tricky choice, but I think I'll stick with the black - now there's something you never thought you'd hear me say

[PeteH]

Yay! I'm back in it
