Im wanting to remove a turbo technics plastic badge thats on the tailgate, any ideas how to remove it as its well and truly stuck on and i dont want to damage the paintwork , cheers

 

thin knife behind it, then rub off the left over sticky, maybe with warm water and a little petrol

or if you have it cheese wire or strong fishing line, or pour warm water over teh badge and get your nails behind 1 edge, when its warm it may just pull off


wanna sell me the badge?

 

Wouldnt cheese wire it to be honest mate, thats the right idea but you wanna try and find something a little less course..

When I removed all the badges and side strips from my old XR3i I think I used a bit of fishing line, but go careful you dont get to close to the paint cos you will scratch it!

Once you've got the badge off very hot water and keep soaking the blakc guey stuff and it will start to melt, once thats done you should be able to use abit of compound to rub it off and then just polish it up again!

HTH

 

Forgot to say get some pics up of before and after mate!

 

well done it , sorry never got any b4 pics, all i can say is that it was well and truly welded to the body, i used a length of nylon cord and after 30 mins it finally came of!!!, i then used a bit of t-cut and it looks perfect......1.9 xr2 on 40's u could had the badge but its in 6 bits ao the garage floor it just kept breaking up ...sorry

 

shame, no worries

 

Well if you didnt take any pics before go and take some now mate!
