Title: Debadging
Post by: kkh120 on 14 March 2007, 14:59

I want to take the red 16v badge (just above the rear bumper) off and then put it on later.

Whats the best way to do this without wrecking it?

Cheers

I took mine off to replace it with a silver version. You need to use something non-metallic to prise it off with so you don't damage the paint. I used a plastic tyre lever from a bicycle puncture repair kit.
You'll probably be left with a sticky mess where the badge was which can be removed with some mild alcohol cleaner then polished up. When you want to refit the badge you'll need a new double sided sticky pad.
