My badge quest is complete !

Post by davetrees »

Thanks to diligent hunting by Affa over the last couple of years, I now have a complete set of Galant 16L GS badges ... mostly NOS :thumpsup:

From the top :
  • front guards
  • bootlid
  • grille & rear panel
  • C pillars
Now I just need the factory rally team paint job to go with them ..... maybe one day !

(It's a bummer the JDM 5-lens tail lights won't fit a GB without metal surgery :( )

You mean a one like this ?

If you have one in good condition, PM me a pic & a price .... we'll talk.

Interestingly though, the factory rally cars actually had the horizontal bar cut out of the grille & mesh behind .... so I reckon I can make a "replica" out of a stock GB one easily enough :

On a side note .... the factory cars ran a rear bumper bar on the front, and also had some major surgery to the front valance !

I have a set of 16L indicators .... but need to find some of those organge parker lenses ! I'm wondering whether it might be possible to paint or dye some stock clear ones ?

davetreees, buying amber lens dye is easy enough....most speed shops sell lil bottles (we're talking under 100mL) of the dye so u can re-paint the faded lenses
