poli84 Posted 18May, 2015 Report Share Posted 18May, 2015 Sounds good, thanks for the tip, I'll order some and give it a go. FYI, I'll also add that it is not super shiny. Gives a nice natural wet gloss look but is not as noticeable as the silicone based products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsujack Posted 30May, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 30May, 2015 Quick pic from this afternoon's continued quest for total black... Smoked indicators and black hood badge installed today! I took a gamble with the indicators buying online and have to say the quality is good and they are bright when on. But not sure about the badge, think it needs to be gloss?

Exactly as you described, nice and dark but no too shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear it's as you like. Very good product in my opinion. Further black additions are looking great. Not sure about the black badge. I know what you mean about gloss, mine came with the same black badge, it just doesn't look right. The gold badge would be a nice juxtaposition on your overall "murdered out" look.

michel Posted 2June, 2015 Report Share Posted 2June, 2015 suggest black lens covers to lights - perhaps with the marchal blk cat in satin with background in matt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 3June, 2015 Report Share Posted 3June, 2015 I'm not sure if this will work, can you media blast or acid etch a standard gold plated badge back to the base white metal? Then paint with satin black in the relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsujack Posted 21June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 21June, 2015 Ok time for an update: Will start a separate thread for the new C2 when it arrives, but in the meantime been tweaking the C4. Think I reached peak black obsession earlier this month , so going back on some mods, namely the black badge and front indicators. I know a lot people go clears but I've never been a fan and thought the smoked would work but they just don't. Looking back at earlier photos I really like the bright orange stock ones so they're going back on. Earlier this month Chris from Radios in Motion installed the VDO head unit, some pics below. This was suggested by the guys at Autohaus. It's been installed in a few cars now including JV's RS4 and the Autohaus Grp4. Having run with it for a couple weeks now have to say it has been faultless, great to use, very intuitive, has that OEM look (and brand) and most of all sounds great. Have my iPhone in a mount and bluetooth calls working well. My only issue is that you are unable to change the backlight and all the ones available here (CD9303UB-AU) are green, whereas the euro spec ones are orange (CD9303UB-CV) which would be better to match the rest of the gauge lighting. Need to source a couple of euro ones... It looks like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC78 Posted 22June, 2015 Report Share Posted 22June, 2015 It's like how much more blacker could it get, and the answer is none, none more black! Does the tacho go to 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsujack Posted 16January, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 16January, 2016 They were a bargain mate!They sure were. After unpacking, a decent clean and mounting today, I'd agree. A couple of very minor marks on two of the rims and the tyres are pretty much brand new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
