de badging

[mulletman]

has anyone done this on their mk3, if so how did it look and do you have to fill in any holes, daz

 

[ian_jobson]

yeh i did it, no holes, dead simple, hairdryer, t cut and elbow grease is all ya need! bad pic but here ya go!

I used dental floss to get them off, then t-cut. Dead easy.

try to avoid using t-cut if possible, its quite abrasive and removes alot of paint, use autoglym instant tar remover instead, soak on and then wipe the adhesive straight off!

 

[ian_jobson]

^^^^ good tip

 

[davidol]

I thought so

shows my rear with a relocated cupra badge, previous owner must have done this.
use a cable tie if no dental floss to peel off the badge
then some solution and elbow grease to clean the adhesive

I used Turtle wax tar remover, hair dryer and some kite string. Did the job really easy.

I debadged all the badges from mine because the 'CUPRA' badge fell apart literally lol, I still havent managed to clear off the foamy gunk thing it leaves behind because im lazy and its too cold at the moment.

It looks better debadged though IMO.

the autoglym tar remover is the best

Use a hair dryer to get the badges/glue realyl hot, then use dental floss behind them in a sawing motion to cut through the glue.

If any glue is left after, heat it up again and it should peel off.

Autoglymn instant tar remover is good to remove anything remaining, then clean the surface and polish.

So heating them up wnt damage the paint in anyway?

 

[Forbez]

shouldnt do, dont hold it to close, you want to heat up the sticky foam that holds the badges on.

 

[Simon L]

Not aslong as you dont have the blower on the paint for a stupidly long amount of time.

Ive got a red car and when igot mine off the paint looks like its faided behind it, ive used no end of different polishes, scratch removers, tax removers and cleeaning solutions and i cant get rid of it, its like "IBIZA" and "SEAT" have been sprayed into the pain in a lighter colour Red!!! Any ideas as i fear it may need spraying!!!!
