Spotted two BXs and a CX GTI

On my way to university two days ago I spotted the dual chevrons in my rear view mirror, and I thought to myself , wow another AX, but no it was a white BX 16 TGS. Whilst he was overtaking me I managed to get a good look at it. It had a hoop spoiler and was in fair condition despite being very dirty ( In all fairness so is mine right now, very dusty period right now ).

I spotted another one on a roundabout. I couldn't tell which model it was but it was wine coloured and had a lip spoiler. The indicator was completely smashed up though.

I spotted the CX GTi on the web

Hoop spoiler on a white TGS? Thats an extra! He must be into fast cars

Ahem, how about a 14 with a spoiler?

By the way, anyone know a good way to paint those badges?

I actually bought one for my ivory 14RE when I was younger. It was a black one off a scrapped GTi near my house and I decided it would be ok to leave black. But I was wrong, it looked crap

Yours looks better as its the right colour, but I'd paint that little black piece underneath as cars with spoilers as std didn't have that bit in black.

With regards to badges, do you mean paint body colour or repaint OE colours?

I want to paint them the original silver colour. I'm guessing very careful brush painting would be best but I dont know what colour silver it is.
