nose badge off

Post by Scotty C » Wed Aug 13, 2008 4:59 pm

Has anyone removed the nose badge off there car.

Are the new ones just stuck on?

I have done this before but it was the old type that screwed in from the back.

Yea the new one's are stuck on as Mckeann said
Protect the surrounding paintwork then warm it with a hairdryer and use fishing gut or a cheese wire to so cut through the sikaflex that holds it on, then tar remover(so I've read) to clean off any remaining adhesive

Easy job - hairdryer and fishing wire needed.... Heat it up, gradually slide fishing wire under it pulling both sides back tight.

Done :thumbsup
