debadge

I was wondering if it was easy to debadge? I understand that I will need to colour code if this was done so it will look much better but is it easy to take the badge off?

use a hair dryer to heat the glue up from the badge to make it easier to pull it off, this will result in holes in the boot from where the badge pins go into the boot.

If your not bothered by that then...hurrah!

Use t-cut to get the rest of the glue off the paintwork though, works a treat

I was thinking about the badge on the front of my car, not the back as mines where already took off by previous owner.

so what do you actually want to do? Just remove the badge, or remove the slats from the behind the badge or what? removing the slats just requires you hacking away at it with a saw. removing the badge is hard work....so personally would just buy a badgeless grill from eBay

i've got a badgeless grille, think it looks ace for what i paid for it.

all i did for the back was:

take back badges off, hot water and an old credit card, came off like a treat. had the holes in the back. used black silocone on the inside of the bootlit. bearly noticable unless your like inspecting it like a mo'fucker. still water tight. and looks alright if your not wanting to faulk out for a garage to fill or smooth which will cost you abit.
