Hi Fellas, I’m looking to find out what is the correct front grille badge for an
LC XU1.
Is it the badge with the blue and silver outline or is it the blue / silver / red version?
I’ve received feedback outside the forum that still has unsure on what version is correct.
So Im looking for confirmation on what version is for the LC XU1.
Cheers

Thanks fellas, I’ve seen both versions on the LC. I wasn’t certain about the red in the badge, but, you guys are on the money, as it will fade out overtime. The un restored LC’s all have the Blue / Silver. Yet those that have been restored have the Tri colour version..

It's simply a transparent red tinter that why, give the section a light sand with some (good quality) 800 grit wet and dry, a good clean with wax and grease remover, mask off well & apply some new transparent red acrylic paint and them some clear, unmask when dry & put it back together. A good automotive paint shop should put some in a spray can for you. But DON'T put it on heavy, just build it up lightly.

Thanks Dave, i couldn't remember how they looked. Sold my lc stuff a long time ago.

I reckon it's not that simple Gary. The red blue and black are applied then the bright silver is applied last. To re-colour the red it would be necessary to remove the silver from that area, apply the red then reapply the bright silver backing.

 

Id just bite the bullet and buy the repro if the 'as left the factory' look is desired.
