Debadging a black Cupra

[kassim]

Im thinking of debadging my Black cupra


Back in the days when i had a Red corsa i debadged it and did a SH*T job of it and it was red .


any advice on what i could do on a Black leon becasue if i mess up it will stick out like mad becasue the car is black .

Its easy to do. You cant go wrong. Once the bages are off. Use a little polish, then wax the area after.

Use a heat gun/hairdryer to gently warm the badge.... just to soften the glue up behind it and gently peel it off. You'll feel the badge give a bit once the glue has melted sufficiently. People have used all sorts of things to prise them off but beware of the screwdriver.... one slip and it won't matter about your badges looking rubbish... Dental floss is a favourite, or a spatula (plastic). Something firm and blunt.

The main thing is just take your time, and t-cut and polish the area afterwards.

All I used was hot soapy water, dental floss and elbow grease. No damage to paintwork and no gunk left at all. Took about 30 minutes to do the leon letters and side r's.

dental floss and a hair dryer mate worked a treat

Off the back of this does anyone have any advice about putting badges on? Mine are looking a little worse for wear but I really like them so was looking at some new ones.

T-Cut is your friend !!!

 

[Engimaneer]

Use finishing compound on the area after removing the glue.

i used a bit of card and cut the foam backing like a saw didnt mark the paint on the car coz its only card then polished what was left off.!

To reduce weight....

And any 17 year old chav with a corsa knows that removing the 1L badge from the back adds 300BHP to the car!

I debadged my golf and it looked much nicer, took a lot of deciding wether to go ahead or not though.

de badged.

Hot water, dental floss, tar and glue remover and a bit of polish. It must have took all of 2 minutes and looks mint although I only removed the Leon 20VT on the right and kept the Seat Cupra on the left.

I started mine using hot soapy water, but found it was taking a little time. So went and got the hairdryer, all was done within 10 minutes then. Polished it up after.

I used a razor blade and a hairdryer. Was like a bloody surgical procedure lol! My badges were sooo stubborn!
