Saxo Badges... Stuck on or what?

[dannyboy2005]

decided! Want my Saxo badge on the boot sprayed WHITE (With Hammerite?)

Now, do they peel of or what? And how do i go about putting them back on?

Thanks

[djflipsaxo]

get a small flat screwdriver and prize them off gently they are on with pins

[dannyboy2005]

Nice one DjFlip.

Assuming the badge pins wont snap if i'm carefull? As most plastic on cars snap if you unclip them.

Would i just lightly sand with fine paper then spray? Would you bother with primer or undercoat? Or would you just spray several coats of white spray?

Also what spray? Hammeraite?

There's about 10 guides on this already mate use the search button
Use a hair dryer or heat gun to loosen the glue and slowly peel them off

[dannyboy2005]

P.s. Could i also spray the chrome Chevrons on the front grill if i unclip them? Or would the chrome shine through the paint (Again, lightly sand down obv)

[djflipsaxo]

even if they do snap they will go on with a little glue. just be gentle lol

[dannyboy2005]

Forgot about search :(.. Sorry...

One says Pins and the other says glue? Hmm.. Its a Mk1 if that hlps.

[MrHouston]

They have 3 plastic pin like stalks behind the badges, 3 on the Citroen and 2 on the Saxo, it's best to just snap them off when you're putting them back on the car though

lol im saying they are held on with pins, but when you replace them, if you have snapped the pins, glue them on

[dannyboy2005]

Wicked.. Cheers! (Btw.. 'Badge' Typed into search didn't really help)

[MrHouston]

The guides in the sticky topic at the top of the forum, loads of guides in there

Try debadging ;)

[NICK2506]

the pins dont hold the badges on, they are just guides so that they arent fitted at an angle. Keep the pins on, and just re-put sticking tape on the back, cut round it and stick them back on and the pins will make sure you get them straight.

WOuldnt use a screw driver if i were you. heat the glue up and get some dental floss, and use that to work your way along behind the badges :y:

[dannyboy2005]

:S Forog tabout Stickys too.. Dumb ass.

I'll do it Saturday, also add my new Sax P Stickers (Again). I don't think i de-badge would look great on a 1.1 Standard lol.

I don't think i de-badge would look great on a 1.1 Standard lol.

take off the boot panel inside, and just push the pins through.
found that to be pretty simple.
i used a little 800 then 1500 wet and dry, to smooth it. then paint how ever you want it.
i went with white primer and gloss black with lacquer.

[Mark_Jordan]

a pinned job however the citroen is very long and fragile i managed to snap mine so i just went to scrappy and got another one, so just be careful mate!

[beaumontdvd]

Hairdryer to heat it up m8 ;) Then it comes off easy .. flathead screwdriver

[WilsonWC]

I didnt realise they wereon pins untill it was to late,
so i'm just going to paint them and stick them back on,
Instead of a complete debadge.

[Predator_R32]

i wouldnt be using a screwdriver to lever them off, thats just asking for trouble tbh

give the car a good wash, by the time youve washed it etc the glue will have softened up and they should just come off

[turnip]

^^ Plus 1, Do not use a screw driver.

I found once they were softened up all I did was use something flat like a small square piece of wood, place it on top of one of the pins (open boot and remove boot lining) and push on it with your hand.

To paints, wet dry, degrease, few coats of primer, few coats of your chosen colour, laquer:y: job done.

Blue tack in the little holes while the badges are off mate
