I reckon with all that fresh paint it will look better de-badged :)

Top coat looks well, top job! :cool:

Ive just got some pics of the painter from back near the start, so here's a small step back first before todays pics.

Looks good in the pictures dude, good colour match too, weird how with no flash they look totally different and with flash its top notch!

Very very nice mate - Get plenty of Waxoyl pumped into it :)
