De badging (Chill sticker)

[ASTI]

Has any one tried to take the Chill sticker off their ibiza? If so how did they do it? Was it a hair dryer at all? Will it just peel off?

this doesnt really apply to my car but i would have said if its a sticker then peel it off....slightly heat the excess glue.....wipe off as best you can and then have a polishing frenzy....

or

heat to start with and apply the same techniques as above??

hot water and a bank card ..... job done

Used a hairdryer on my Chill stickers when I had mine, warm it up, not too much then start peeling, give it a quick wipe down to get rid of the residue the sticker leaves behind and them stick em on someones forehead. Job Done

i just ripped mine off in middle of the city centre, peels off just like a sticker.

or.........for an alternative removal technique, the biggest, nastiest looking screwdriver you can lay your hands on, preferably rusty for that wow factor! works every time......very trusty tool!! lol

or get a sander to it, that will remove everything and leave no evidence lol

good idea!!

Also, if your sanding belt is blocked with cack from previous use and you dont have a brush to get the cack out, an angle grinder and a some oxy-acetaline will do fine.

Remember, if you go down the angle grinder route......you also automatically qualify for stage 3 weight reduction while in the process of sticker removal.

PLEASE NOTE: All advise given is strictly on a no come back basis..........

serious though...hairdryer is what you want

i had to 'de sticker' my entire cordy when i first got it cos it was covered in graphics. wish i had just used a hair dryer from the beginning. minimal effort

yeah go with the hair dryer, if you thinking of completely debadging the back end, tell you what i did. i took all the letters forming 'seat ibiza' off and stuck em on the front bumper just above the fog light. cant remember where i got the idea from cos i did it ages ago and it looks alright. the funny thing is when i got a parking ticket, the parking attendent thought it was a saab, even tho it says seat ibiza at the front. makes you think what type of people they employ lol

 

[gavthelad]

and 9 times out of 10 they're ex-coppers so you'd think they would know the cars on the road??lol

ok cheers guys! I went with the hair dryer and the back came off a treat, but the divers side left the sticky stuff all on! so i wacked out some WD-40 and that did the trick! Worked really well actually!

Thanks once again
