removing 16v badges?

[chrismurra]

i am thinking of removing my 16v badges of the side just wondering if there are any holes under them i have a mark 2 vts

[cheese-]

i dont think so, im pretty sure they are just stuck on

[chrismurra]

will i need to spray or could i blend the paint in with t cut

Yea, stuck on only mate. The car will be painted still underneath. But they might leave an imprint in shite if theyve been there for ages, so there will be a black 16v sign in the paint. Will come out if you clay bar it off though.

Be careful when takin em off aswell, or you might rip out the paint itself in an imprint of the badge

i think the car is painted before the badges are stuck on but it will look odd

Theres a cleaning product called the clay bar mate, gets rid of any stains on the surface of the paint.

Check out www.polishedbliss.co.uk for the meguars clay bar and a guide on how ti use it

Might not need the clay bar mate, but if you do then that site or a local car care shop should have em. I tried to get one in halfrods before n couldnt find one though, and our halfords is quite large

[TU-Tuning]

[chrismurra]

[Angel]

the clay bar works a treat or just a little t-cut wont do it any harm ... i did mine a few weeks ago and the white came up blinding (trust me to pick a sunny winters day lol ) :)

i took mine of an just used a bit of tar an glue remover from halfords an it wiped it straight off.

[Scott]

pour a kettle of hot water over a badge then pull it off, anything let can be picked off or use some tar remover, paint should be fine underneath

its probably goiogn to be safest. T-cut is alright aslong as you put lots of polish over the top of it. I'd use the auto glym stuff. thats pretty good stuff
