Debadging

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
Mk2 8v and 16v.

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.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?
