Ghetto fix required!

Hey all!

Got a bit of a problem at the front of the car. The previous owner had a hideous badge/sticker on the front which when removed left a hell of a mess underneath

As you can see from the pics, a badge doesn't quite cover the whole mess.

Looking for a cheap solution to tide me over for a couple of months til I can afford a full respray.

Any suggestions welcomed

I may regret that statement

A big I love Nitin sticker over it.

On a serious not though, I'd just be some Krust rust remover and get a touch up brush just to tidy it up until the respray.

A tactful shaped piece of vinyl along the nose of the bumper (up to or just past the fold) sweeping up the inside of the lights?...

Yeah, vinyl.. either the front edge like Nafe says, or the whole bonnet..
Or you could go Euro-Lude and fit a bonnet bra.

Might be difficult to get of vinyl to match the colour.

Or are ya thinking a contasting colour? Black may work? Or look awful

I think matt black would look ok - it would tie in your wheels, headlights and windows..

Everything!

Everything

It looks good in pics etc but up close it is pretty beat up

Was doing a clear out and found a can of colour matched paint under the stairs
