Debadging

Post by Root »

I don't have access to a hairdryer/heat gun because my car is parked by the road, too far to run an extension lead..
Will hot water & spare debit card (or w.e), take off the 1.2 and vauxhall badge on the boot? I just want the corsa badge on.

thx

Haha, The glue can come off with time...just as long as the badges are gone, I don't want everybody knowing my car's small penis size (1.2) :(

lol...of course....if it a decent purple i would give it a go...but i rekon it would full on knacker the paintwork after a while of continued weathering. So might onyl give it a go before i go to get it sprayed. u think u get a discount if u remove all the paint and sand it ready for priming and painting at the body shop? besides the obvious labour cost reductions.

I wouldn't use any spirits on my paintwork just in case...

I think if you visitted a few shops and asked if you primed it ready for painting if they would do it cheaper they might. I should think so.
