Can you actually unscrew the screws showing? coz from the back it looks like a thread.

either way, id make them look mint. if a little pitted though coz of the existing corrosion.

...which I cannot find. But yeah, they look like proper threaded screws to me.

If you reckon you could do something with it/them that would be great.

Decided to soak these in white vinegar, not looking too bad on the first one...

as you can see, the emblems were fairly corroded, and have holes where the metal has been washed away from aqua blasting.

they have been posted and are on their way back to you signed for first class. enjoy.

Considering how gash they looked when I took them off the car, this is a pretty amazing transformation.

Really made up. Top man :D
