[si_pnefc]

Simplest mod in the world, yet very effective. Anyone who needs to look at a guide on how to t-cut their badges is a fuckwit lol!:zainy:

[D4N91]

it is an easy and effective mod :) cars ought to come like it standard :)

[benwh555]

Yeah free mods ftw. And as said, if you need to look at a guide of how to t-cut your badges then here is a tip for you - dont use a hairdryer in the shower.

thats a saxp top tip there :) :clapping:

[jordysaxobby]

i like that idea but everyone is doing it now and i want to be diffrent lol

[Dazed]

Rather than use a £7.50 bottle of t cut which you will never use again just use 1500 wet and dry and then a quick spray with some back to black :y:

[Eldridge]

i used a bottle from work lol

[ricksimmonds]

i did the saxo badge and didnt realise how hard you had to rub, my hand was aching so i didnt do the citroen one

ive had odd badges for months now lol

[Eldridge]

lol thats abit dumb

[ben_vts]

Oh dude please lose the vts badge.............

[Kev_Vtec]

take it of

[saxo651]

It may sound stupid and this is my first post but when using t-cut does it matter if you get it on the car paint work will it remove it, if not would it work for removing a parking scratch??????

[si_pnefc]

No, it doesn't matter if it goes on the paint work and it depends how deep the scratch is.:y:

[bensvarups]

Think I might make mine black so it matches the bumpers

[Eldridge]

plus it makes your badges look 100 times beter!!

[Predator_R32]

already a guide on it tbh

[eewun]

tempted now! and i have some t-cut lying around.........:A:

[chris84]

i always think that it looks loads better just taking them off and spraying them the same colour as the car, u get a nice blended in look and they dnt look all dull and scratched either.

[kennysevenfold]

Giving this a try today :)

[smokey247]

that seems efficent, will do that this weekend! nice1

[9Freedman9]

I have white spray paint to do mine, if I hairdryer them off, will I need to glue them back on or can I just slot them back into the holes they come out of without re-gluing?

[BazzaC]

T-cutted mine on the weekend...looks sweet on my black spaxo!

[Liam_LFC_VTR]

A guide to T cutting badges...........seriously?

[LeeBBH]

I think that if you have to read a guide to find how to do this then you should not be allowed to touch a car....

Haha i'm glad im not the only person! :)

[SiickBoy]

looks simple enuf...

[MathewVTR]

Still undecided whether or not to do this to mine. I like the t-cut look on icelandic grey saxos and silver saxos but mines posi blue and it doesn't look as impressive imo.

[mattygoulding]

seems easy enough gonna giv it a try tomorrow i think

[Thejj]

mines a mines posi blue done mine yesterday looks so much better

[Snakedoc1987]

to be fair i think most people are looking what the effect it does not how to do it mate but if you are then you need help, lol

mite do mine now

[BreconShadow]

looks good mate

[Ben_L]

how do i open the bottle of t-cut?

[Manu]

how do i open the bottle of t-cut?

with an axe. One clean swing does the trick. Of course you may practice on a pint milk bottle before having a go on the t cut.

[ReCoNoR]

Will this work on the badge on the front grill?

[Mini-barker]

Just done mine.
Quick, easy and its cheep!
:)

[grantperring]

wow i never knew how much better the badges look after t-cut , guna try this tonite :y:

[Jimbob56789]

Haha i was reading this before i tcut mine, thinking grow a pair to all the guys moaning about how hard it is to get off.. and now my thumb is paying the price lol.. Just harder you rub, the quicker it comes off, but the harder you rub, the quicker your skin also comes off. Looks great though! :>

[Walker_]

Wish i knew this before i took mine off and painted them black lol

[Iamallywhan]

good thread!

[saxosteve12]

wish i knew this before i took mine off and left 5 holes in my boot lid :(

[lakeyy]

or you could pop em off and spray em any colour of your choice ;)

[tomhollo18]

It does look a lot better and easier than trying to paint em

[deragoku]

If you need to look at how T-reduce your badge guide, here are your tips - do not use a hair dryer PS Vita Accessories (http://www.meritline.com/ps-vita-accessories-console-games---c-14793.aspx) in the shower.

[Sax-JP]

I t -cut mine down then added slight silver sparkle to them look really good and really rare :)

[Connorsaxo]

Sorry to bring this back from about 3 years ago but will this work for the chevrons on the grill?

Nope it won`t mate.:drink:

[Chris_O]

No, just give them a light rub over with some very fine wet and dry, and spray desired colour

[hainey]

really want to do this but im missing the n on my Citroen badge at the back
