Hi
You can easily debadge the car (i have), use some strong fishing line, and rock the line between the badge and car, cutting away the glue, once off, the glue will still be there, either get some 'stickey stuff remover' or WD40 let soak in, the wipe off....
nice clean boot

Hi!, The badges on the rear can just be taken off, they are stuck on using foam pads! the one on the bonnet however has lugs, so removing this will reveal holes which need work the boot can just be polished!!

Debadging isn't too difficult on the back of the car. The badges are held on by adhesive foam which tears off fairly easily. Don't use anything hard like a screwdriver to lever it off or you'll scratch the paintwork - just use your fingernails or something plastic to lever and twist until the badge comes off.
Underneath will be all the foam and adhesive. I used an old credit card to scrage all the excess foam off, which left me with a lot of nasty adhesive to get rid off. The best thing for this is a combination of tar remover, WD40, a credit card and a bug-remover sponge. Other fluids like surgical spirit might help dissolve the adhesive. Sometimes you need to let it soak for a while before scraping away. Depending on the condition of your paintwork, you might find some marks on the underlying paint. If your paint has faded (common on some non-metalic colours) then the debadging will be really obvious. You might need to spend a lot of time with T-cut or similar to get the original colour back. Mine is dark green metalic and there was no fading, however there were some witness marks where the original badges had been in the form of tiny white lines around the adhesive. I expect the adhesive actually pulled off a bit of lacquer when it came off. Since I was rebadging with vinyl graphics I wasn't concerned. The bonnet badge (if you have a P11) is a different matter - there are two locating holes that go right through the metal. If you debadge, you will have to have these holes filled. I don't know what the P10, 144 or P12 is like for this. Best of luck and post us some pics |

hi all, its me again!! i know this has already been answered, but heres some free self promo! (delete if not allowed) in the past what ive used to remove old sticker / double sided tape foam and glue residue is cellulose thinners. STICKER GLUE REMOVAL - HOW TO REMOVE OLD STICKER RESIDUE IN SECONDS! NO MESS + BETTER THAN NEW! what you will need; -- microfibre towel / small rag / cloth / even an old sock will do the
job! -- cellulose thinners
simply apply some cellulose thinners to your micro fibre cloth and start
rubbing on the residue you are looking to remove. within seconds
you will notice the residue breaking down and coming clean. ideally
will need to give the surface a quick wash / polish after this if doing
on a car otherwise you could potentially risk damaging your paintwork if
theres any residue from the thinners left on the surface. for my application its been perfectly safe and have been removing stickers / badges / emblems / and vinyl wrap residue from cars for years and never had any issues if you do not want to use cellulose thinners, you can use Tar & Glue (T&G) remover which is a designed for product which does the same job and does not have any damage to the paint. its slightly more expensive. ive used both products and never had issues with either. theres literally no mess, and cleans up in seconds no matter how new / old the glue is. there no struggle or a fight on your hands trying to work it, as the thinners just do all the work for you!. above is a link of a very short video i made showing the thinners removing some stubborn duct tape residue, as always your support would be appreciated. thanks again ahmed

Yes in the Spanish forums was more or less the same, there was a battle for who was the first member answering.
At least npoc is still alive. |
