De-badging video

[teeps]

Right then. I know this has been covered in detail before, but I thought I could give it a try. I have no previous experience in body work or de-badging, so I was approaching this as a beginner, armed with the help of the internet.

To debadge the whole car (Boot and both engine sizes) took about 30 mins in total, without any specialist tools or expensive items.

You will need:

Hairdryer (borrowed from a Roadster owner oke: )
Dental Floss (you could also use fishing line, but then your car wouldn't be minty fresh)
WD40 (although I am reliably informed that Baby wipes will also work just as well)
Cloth/Paper towel

Follow the simple instructions in the video link below!

I like the music

Loved the poke at Roadster owners reference the hairdryer

Great video for those who want to do this! So WD40 doesn't damage the paint then? So keeping the theme with that jacket you could turn the removed badges into one of those cool car badge necklace/chain things, proper gangster!

And also I like how the first suggested video on the YouTube list from your one is this:

I used the WD40 sparingly, on a cloth so it didn't go everywhere - no paint damage as far as I can tell (if anything it probably means the water/ice runs off it quicker?)

If I did have an M, those badges would probably go too, keep the car looking low key!

I'm considering using my new found skill to swap the logos on my brothers cars. Vauxhall Cayenne anyone? How about a Porsche Astra? :evil:
