Removing the front badge on Cupra/Boca

sorry to reviving an old thread, but does the removal of the grill apply the same way with the normal Ibiza techie? or anyone else lol.

i.e. same clips in the same places as the boc/cupra.

 

[skeat12]

The FR is different to the Cupra/Boc, it's pretty much no different to techie's post, so I'm guessing yours will be the same too. Only difference is mine is/was chrome rather than the black shown in techie'spost.

 

[char_baby]

ah ok, yeah mines chrome but the new one i've got is badgless so hoping it'll go on the same way.

 

[splinter26]

Yeah it was the same on my old car is it on the boc. Your best friend is a trim tool to get down the sides to unclip them

 

[char_baby]

is what on the boc? or do you mean it was the same as on the boc?

where do i get a trim tool?

 

[Dave 77]

Just give it a pull thats all i did

 

[jc_boc]

I think techie said you can get that trim tool from halfrauds.

 

[char_baby]

ooh ok. i'll have to make a trip there i guess. wouldn't a flat screwdriver do the job? or is that too much of a risk lol.

 

[jc_boc]

Might damage it i think.

 

[splinter26]

Char yeah sorry was tired when i wrote that lol

I bought a trim tool for halfrauds, it's not the best but it's the only place i could find one at the time! A screwdriver will be too thick to get in the gaps

 

[char_baby]

okie dokie, i'll have to pop to halfords. cheers guy
found out that my grille has gotta be bonded together grr. it came with the frame and mesh seperate. dunno whether to ask seat or ask a friend. seat might charge loads.

 

[jc_boc]

Halfrauds? I am sure a bit of bonding solution from them should do the trick char. I mixed up my own when I did the grille on my polo back home as it came without the mesh. So i ended using the mesh off some mine truck air filters (as they are really big) and used that on both grille and bumper.

 

[char_baby]

Ooh ok.
I think the boyfriends brother should have something as he's modding cars all the time! Might have to pop over at the weekend, he should defo be able to take the grill off. without breaking it i hope lol.

Thank you Jas by the way, where did you live with a number plate like that?

 

[jc_boc]

LOL. that was in South Africa. VW marketed the MK2 as the Polo there. I miss that car...............

 

[char_baby]

Oh right, thats cool

slightly stupid question here for you...im on halfords website, would some sort of super glue work just to stick the plastic mesh on?

 

[techie]

Can you stick the mesh from behind out of sight, if so silicone sealer or a hot melt glue gun would be ideal.

 

[char_baby]

yeah its stuck on from behind the frame of the grill. if i didn't get what you suggested would something like this be ok;

oh just found this sealant, would this be better than above?

[jc_boc]

I think that black silicone should do the job rather nicely.

 

[techie]

Yep that looks good, put blobs around and press the grill into the sealer. It will squidge around and then leave to set. Will hold well then and should be nice and secure.

Worked on mine
