Corsa-B.uk - Vauxhall, Opel and Holden Corsa B Owners Club

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

i wanna know too....cos i live in residential hull near main road with no driveway. I got tar and bug remover cos was told it helps loads, but im relucant to do it incase i end up peeling loads of paintaway from the side of my car. Will kettle, bug/tar remover and credit card work?

I'm just gonna give it a go tomorrow, paint shouldn't peel but I assume cus the car is 12 years old the paintwork underneath will ne a lot brighter. lol

well for the black stuff left on my door iv started using t-cut and elbow grease and its working a treat-just dont expect it to be a really quick job..just have to keep workin at it til its all gone.

no problem, thanks for helpful posts.

just dont get f**k off if your towing to get the glue off and do what my friend did and got the white spirit out....
as it will bring the glue off, but also on a white car will make the paint go purple lol!

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)

hmmm.....wat kind of purple? like oil pearlescent purple...or deep purple....or bodge mismatchin patchy purple? does it depend on how u apply the spirits?

thinking of a "paint job"? lol

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.

personaly id leave the 1.2 badge but thats me
especialy if sum cock in a subaru overtakes u and thinks he is mint, let him feel mint in beating a 1.2

lol, if anybody driving a subaru feels mint after overtaking any corsa, he needs to get laid.
