To Debadge or not to Debadge?

[Torred1771]

Funny....

When I first got the LCR I was trying to get under the bonnet...
Beings you press the back seat badge to get into the boot I assumed it was the same for the front....And pressed the badge right out of the grill...Good job my wheel arch's had hunge holes in. Managed to retreive the lost badge after it fell out the wheel arch on a roundabout....


Pretty easy to de-badge.

De-badging the rear gives a real phat stance I love it one of the first things I done.

You will get a slight colour different but nothing meguiars scratch x can't sort out

 

[paul26982]

no colour problems here, agree about the phat rear

I had colour differance when I did mine, got the boot re-sprayed and perfect now

not worth getting the boot re-sprayed id rather leave them on lol

i debadged the boot but decided to get the mk 2 badging it didnt make any diff taking the badges off paint wise just took my time with tar remover, hair dryer and dental floss

what you think

Looks really good mate. I've just bought the mk2 cupra badging to do mine, can't wait for a dry day now so I can do it.

Hears mine when I had the badgeless grill on

I do like it but prefer having a badge tbh and this is mt debaged fully tinted arse oh so sexie

 

[Fadel]

Fully tinted? lol Them lights hardly have any tint on! lol

 

[FASTER]

I paid so much money and waited so long for my car badge to say cupra r and not 1.6 ill be leaving mine on for a little bit anyway!!

They are looking a little tired now has anyone tried to clear coat them to give em a new leash of life?

 

[Fadel]

Can't you buff them up with polish? lol

 

[Pyro]

Still tinted tho thus fully tinted back end I love my light tints really nice touch

 

[paul26982]

nice and smooth all the way, just a few window stickers, not a fan of the badgeless front at all though

Pick up my Leon Cupra R tomorrow, first thing i want to do, is the debadge. Has anyone had a colour difference after doing it? Mines black, T-cut usually sort it?

 

[Pyro]

Mine was ok

Shed also black

 

[TRobbo12]

im not a fan of the front debadge as i feel it from a far it looks like the be whole grill is missin like its been in a crash or something....

rear debadging looks great tho
