Carbon Wrapping badges

[Daryld]

Guy's i have just bought some carbon vynal with the intent to start wrapping the badges.

I know the front grille all you need to do is remove the grill and pop the badge off and then start wrapping but how the hell do you remove the rear badge.

Can any one who has done it give a guide.

I did do a search but couldnt find anything for the ibiza.

awesome..

sorry i obviously didnt look hard enough lol

 

[Daryld]

how do u get it off the boot though?

According to Techie:

Two T20 screws and the interior trim pulls off then three 10mm nuts and the plug, simples.

Yeah theres two slots on the inside of the boot, which are used as handles. If you look inside those there are two t20 screws. Unscrew them and then pull down with force. You feel as though it may break but it wont. And then do the reverse to put it back on obviously. Theres a video on youtube of someone wrapping their front badge in carbon and they didn't bother taking the badge itself out to do it. If you can pull it off i'd suggest that as i'm guessing from experience it may scratch/ damage the wrap when putting it back in otherwise.

This is how i did, not on the boot but hey




I didn´t remove the badge. Formed it with a heatgun and used a scalpel to cut it out..

Yepp, 3M Di-Noc carbon.. Feels like a BIG job to make it in real CF with epoxy and stuff, especially if your´e not going to remove it from the car first.

 

[Daryld]

ahh so you kinda put the sheet on it...then it kinda formed round the badge and then u cut round it so it fit nice in the bends?

 

[splinter26]

To summarise yeah lol as I said there's s guy on YouTube who's filmed the whole process

Exactly, kind of fiddly but not very hard.

 

[Daryld]

reckon the back could be done on the car too

 

[Quadrablast]

The scary part is when you cut away the exessive material, you have to cut through, but you don´t want to make scratches or so in the paintwork or chrome.. I used a really sharp hobbyknife, but it was still tricky in some corners..

 

[Daryld]

probs best with it off then

 

[Quadrablast]

Well if you take it of, it is easier to make it cover everything as well, but if you mount it with the badge on, its kind of easy to miss some tiny spot. When the sun shines on it, it really shows where you messed up

 

[Daryld]

yeah u know. think ill keep the front one on the grille and remove the other one.

so once the tailgate panel is removed the rear badge should just pull out?

 

[splinter26]

Theres a small electric plug that simply clips off. Oh yeah and i believe two bolts holding it in place with a metal bracket. It's very simple to get out, it's just worrying pulling the tailgate trim off lol

 

[Daryld]

ah right...have a go when me old carbon comes.

 

[Daryld]

any one know if you can wrap the shiny silver trim around the grille? does this come off seperate from the grille?
