They’re okay on the upwards surfaces but the sides are pitted and a bit dull,they used to be black on all the inserts on the lettering too but I’ve had all the paint off them. They are such cool looking badges I wanted to do them justice,I bought them from us ebay and they’re off a seventies van.

I also have a number plate on retention that’s a 77 R reg,SSS949R,the van is 88 E. The only outward thing that dates these vans is the swage line in the centre of the panels and I wanted to create a more seventies look overall. So chroming badges could be the thin end of the wedge 👍😁

It needs a full on valet even though it looks good in the pics,a little weekend job😉

Then it needs its own shelter Mr Moss👍

Seriously fabulous and a superb way to cruise to Le Mans. Love the 70s look and brown works perfectly.
