Heat guns are pretty inexpensive. Screwfix do one at £11.99

What colour did u go for? I went for copper on mine, goes well on monsoon grey imo.

Nice, I've got a Red FR so gone for Black. Can probably get hold of a heatgun but would be worried about burning some paintwork haha.

The instructional video I got with it didn't mention a heat-gun so maybe manage without or do you not think?

U dont need to apply a great deal of heat and u are applying the heat to the vinyl too much heat and itll lose it shape and go all wrinkly lol.

What is the solution you need to put on the black badge stickers to apply? Didn't say in the video I bought, I saw a video about applying tint and it said to use baby shampoo? I've only got some baby shampoo and conditioner, is that the same?

Johnsons baby shampoo only. Sounds stupid I know.

OK, so assuming that's what they are (instructions were German) what do I use? Just water?

Well, had a go with just water. Didn't give me the play I was hoping for but got there.

Not sure who could benefit from this but I came here to try find a simpler way to remove the front badge on my Leon ST. I for some reason couldn't unclip it from under the trim that sits above the top grill and by chance whilst I tried to pry it out using a trim remover tool from the exterior badge itself, the top half of the 'S' came off. I thought I broke it, turns out its clipped onto the whole badge housing. So I unclipped the bottom half of the 'S' and once I sprayed them black I clipped them back onto the badge. See images in case my explanation is rubbish.

The front badge in 2 bits top left of the image. Bottom of image is the rear boot badge/latch.
