yea, be carefull when removing the badges, i peeled them away slowly after heating up with a hairdryer and still removed tiny spots of piant!!! look like stone chips, so not too bad, could of been worse if i yanked them off!!! | |

it only takes a small finger print on the car bodywork to stop the paint adhearing to the body. Any greese, oil or anything along those line will create a weak spot on the paint... if that spot just happens to be where the badge is and the right amount of force is is used, off comes the paint !! | |

quote: bad idea!! :! don't just pull them off, you never know if the paint's gonna come with them... you may end up paying to have your boot resprayed... Fishing line or fuse wire is the way to go... :thumbs: | |

heat em up for 5 mins with a hairdyer, pull em off, then use petrol on a cloth to rub away any marks... | |

use fishin line like dental floss and cut thru the glue, then pic off the rest of the glue and polish! Dont take off the griffin badge coz theres holes behind! | |
