My first mod - cartel 1675

Recommended Posts

Finally had the guts to mod my cartel 1675. Didn't go as far as reshaping and drilling the case but I think it turned out ok.  Screwed up the keyless in the process but was able to fixt it whithout much problem, learned the hard way not to push so hard when removing the stem. Big thanks to NCRich, wouldn't have been able to do this without his tutorial. Onto the pics.

Nice work!  And the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Fixing a 3804b keyless is a tough job.  Congrats!

Thanks man, went with the bleach technique. 50/50 water and bleach and let the insert soak. However, most tutorials said that the insert started fading after about 30 secs, mine took a few minutes before it started to fade. I submerged the blue half longer since i wanted a light blue with a stronger red.
