Self de-badging

[David Stubbs]

We debadged ours, along with a limo tint window and a roof spoiler. Looks much better than standard. Each to their own though!

Everyone is de-badging and I’m putting mine on! Feels more balanced and faster now. Plus I am sure my fuel economy just went up!

Why did you apply an additional decal of a folically challenged bloke in sandals and shorts to the back of the van?

Do you reckon he also needed to use that collapsible ladder to stick the badges on @Ads_Essex ?

If you're a fan of the film Transporter then look out for the threequel

Just done mine, gonna get the vw badge colour coded and il be happy

Has anyone thought about placing the Transporter letters across the bonnet where they’ve fitted a badge less grille? I think it’d look smart.

Tell me that 2nd picture was on purpose @Olly hall and you weren't just trying to balance yourself because you are bending

Always have to balance due to the fat head!!

how easy is it to de badge the tailgate? Never done before and don’t want to knacker the paint.

 

[Skyliner33]

Simple, get some fishing line and pull it behind the badges. I think used some tar and glue remover to get remnants of the sticky pads off.

 

[DaveyB]

Really simple, you can also use a hairdryer just to warm up the letters to make the glue even more tacky.

I used a hairdryer and some dental floss then wd40 to remove the sticky black foam ....take your time and then give it a good polish and wax afterwards

 

[Fluff34567]

As above, hair dryer or a hot airgun, put your hand by the badges to get an idea of temperature then some floss to work in a sawing action behind the badges. Use a solvent such as panel Wipe or isopyl or wd40 etc to remove any left over adhesive.

 

[Tourershine]

I've de-badged pretty much every vehicle I've owned and I never use floss, wire, hacksaw blades etc.

My method is warm up and just twist each letter with your fingers. Simple

Any double sided tape left should roll up on your dry thumb.

This is what is behind the badge - took a while to get the sticky adhesive tape off! Ps you shouldn’t have a rusty hole though!
