I've used dental floss in a sawing motion and the badges come off in a jiffy, sticky stuff remover gets rid of the residue :thumbsup:

Sticky stuff remover? Is that a brand name?
Think so, it was written all over the tube I had :?
Rob
Thanks, looks like BQ stock it. Appreciate your help šŸ‘

Did mine today, I'm liking it at the moment but won't be getting rid of the badges.

It's a really long parking space - I can park :wink:

Looks pretty decent on yours to be fair, the colour suits the cleaner smooth look.

Could you not see the pavement behind you? I think that's the end people tend to park at :P

What are they anyway, bus parking spaces? I'm far too interested in these spaces than I should be.

So am I now - but I'd rather they were 2 feet shorter and 2 feet wider! :roll:

I can see what you mean about the width, completely out of proportion.

They're not for busses, just insanely out of proportion! They're outside the gym, maybe they had line paint that needed using up :?

Iā€™m likely to take my 2.5 badge off as I wish it was a 3.0 šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Well not a great advantage in your case - I hope you are doing well though OP. :thumbsup:

But it is kind of handy having a blue badge when I take my mother anywhere - she is 95 now so deserves to be parked by the nearest door. :laugh:

I think people should do to their car as they like.
Debadged or completely covered over with /m badges... as long as they're happy :lol:

My car is completely stock (badgewise that is)

No badges for me. Personally I thought it looked lop sided. Z4 badge on one side of the boot and nothing on the right. Also the Z4 badge is massive! I much prefer without but it's your own car so so what you want! :thumbsup:

Side badges removed. I still have my badges but doubt I'll ever refit them, better without IMO.
