Stupid question time!!

[mattblackcustoms]

New to driving really (well, drove illegally years ago in a couple of capris and other dodgy 80's motors:rolleyes: ), but never got into exterior mods really, shove a v8 in a capri that's about it. So whats with this debadging thing? Is there a point, or just for a clean look? Just wondering, cos my badges are lifting off the boot abit, is it worth removingb them or alditing them back on?:confused:

[scot-ish]

its just for looks mate, alot of people like the smoother look to the back of the car

[James.G]

depends if you want them mate, and if they are just the 'peugeot' '106' badges your best of just taking them off. a hairdyer will do the trick. heat them up and peal them off. might need a wipe after tho. :)

Possilbly some t-cut too if theres anycolour difference where they where.
you can also use boiling water thats what i did:D

[aidy]

most people take emoff cos theirs dont say rallye and they aint proud tee hee

[mattblackcustoms]

So whats the best way to get them off? Might be a bit hard getting a hairdryer anywhere near it!!:D

[mikey_b]

heat it up a bit somehow (boiling water^^) and a credit card

[t_m_evans]

boiling water - for the cup of tea before you start

credit card - to pay someone to do it??

sorry couldn't resit!


normally something like a hairdryer and long extention lead! temp needs to be a low but constant heat! too much and you can damage the paint! DONT use a metal object to lift from behind! a plastic card no longer needed as the foam may stick to the card after removing the badge's.

good look show us the results!

worked fine on mine.

[mattblackcustoms]

Well this is it at the mo, I'll whip them off in a day or so and then post up a after pic:)

this is true i peeled some off on my 1.1 and had to stick them back on again lol... was unlucky with the quiky aswell as the laquer came off and i did it the proper way...wonder if a gti will be succesful :rolleyes:

[mattblackcustoms]

The 106 badge peeled off without any heat, the pugo one needed hot water.:D

And no, don't want any shiny petrol cap:)
