Debadging

20th May 2005, 20:53

Hiya i think i might brave abit of debadging, can anyone suggest how to fill the holes? which filler to use, and where to get paint, is it worth getting a chip stick or touch up?

wouldnt reccomend trying it urself mate as the holes should really be welded. You could spray the badges the same colour as the car to make it look betta?

alright ill give it a miss, what about Meshing MK1 grill? ive tried taking grill off but the bolt in the middle feels as though its about to snap, is it safe to just have 2 fixed down after?

if you debadge the back, then get a fibre glass kit, put a bit inside the boot then get filler and fill the other side carefully make sure its smooth then rub off any of the filler on the paint work, leave to dry and they use a touch up pen its ok, if you look hard you can see it but just standing there you dont raelly notice, ive done it to my old saxo

just colour code the badges

i had my badges removed in order to have them colour coded and i was thinking about just filling in the existing holes, but then in my opinion, if i were going to do that then i would also want the boot flushed.

so i want for the cheaper option and i can honestly say it does not look tacky.

how are they fixed can take them off and put them on yourself

strong adhesive. Take them off by heating them up with a hairdryer and then peeling off.

to remove them just heat up a little so they will prise off easier. then just re-fit in the holes but im not sure if any adhesive is needed or not?
