Really looks amazing after the reco. I would recommend it any day, cheap and easy and gives the rear a brand new look
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
I know this is a very old thread but I thought that it may be a valuable thing to add.
I bought an ebay "aftermarket reproduction" sticker for the calais a while back, went to fit it today the thing is ****ed. I highly recommend cleaning your old one as has been done and stay away from dodgey ebay sellers.

Im considering doing this to my boot lid mould. It already hads the badges off it. Autobah has Motospray Spray On Bumper Prime 400G - In a spray can form. Do a search on google, you'll see what product Im looking at as I can't find the black bumper primer stated to use but this should do fine yes?
Also before applying the black primwr I need to mask off the top stickered section with the sticker on it or off it? With thw sticker off right? And it's covered by tape to protect the silver lines yea?
