Pembo Posted 18October, 2020 Report Share Posted 18October, 2020 Renovating the targa bar today. A new rear targa seal was the actual job i set out to do but, I think most of you have been there before. Am i right? There were a few little dings in the top of the bar so i've tapped them out. Bubs grade panel beating is about all i will attempt. The bar will be resprayed to gloss black but what should i do with the Targa badges? They were black and had never been removed just sprayed over last time. A bit of 'Lemon Peel' Stripper and they are pretty good apart from very minor marks. I think the flat chrome badges go with the wheels and will look good against the black background. Opinions? Thought about Yellow for 2 seconds then thought better.

LeeM Posted 18October, 2020 Report Share Posted 18October, 2020 Brushed/satin aluminium look personally, but chrome will also look good against the black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrera28 Posted 18October, 2020 Report Share Posted 18October, 2020 I suspect I will be in the minority but I would paint them black again. Everyone knows its a Targa and black on black makes it subtle. Definitely not yellow, silver, platinum or flat chrome will decent against the black where as yellow will look a bit after market.

TINGY Posted 18October, 2020 Report Share Posted 18October, 2020 This is what a Targa bar is supposed to look like, silver or alloy with a gold badge, winner every time brian in buddina, WB997.2GTS, crsedge and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel Posted 18October, 2020 Report Share Posted 18October, 2020 My targa bar is black/black script. Looks good. Thought about gold. But would only, if I swapped in a linished bar cover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pembo Posted 19October, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 19October, 2020 Cheers, I was joking about the yellow, just to get a rise. The car has been all de-chromed in the 1990s after import and full metal wide body and the 964 kit added. I would like to go back to an original look however the steepness of that slippery slope for this vehicle is daunting. I think it will stay as is for quite a while. Flat silver against the black bar will do. It does pick up the silver wheels. My main concern is getting it back to A1 mechanically, engine and suspension. I've got just the steering to address then she's a banger. The engine is the original 2.4 case but rebuilt as a 2.7 and it howls. The CIS system will get a full going over if i don't blow it up first. Must do something about a front spoiler before i go too fast again. Talking of slippery slopes, I'm thinking of swapping the mega wing for a ducksbum but then the bumpers/bodykit, where does it end. Divorce. She's still smiling at the moment.
