Title: Debadging..
Post by: benjo on 04 May 2007, 19:27

Afternoon :)

I have a Mk2 1.6 Driver, and it's got the black "Driver" badge on the rear. How is this stuck on?

I want to remove it, but i don't really want to leave a hole in the rear panel. Hoping it's some sort of adhesive?

Thanks  :smiley:

its probably 'pinned' on, have a feel behind the panel and you'll soon find out.

if its anything like the front driver badge then its just stuck on with some foamy gear

I simply peeled mine off... Then a bit of lighter fluid took the sticky stuff straight off!

Easy as that... No marks left at all!
