Used this method today, worked a charm, fishing line was a brilliant thing to use.

Hey mate, thanks for posting this thread, very usefull! Just one thing, is it a personal thing to leave the holden logo on the back? Or is it illegal? Sorry i know its a stupid question.

Thanks.

Nah its not a law thing, but I have noticed some cars have 2 holes where the holden badge is, my VS never did but not sure which models do, so unless u want to bog the holes I would suss that out first.
Not a silly question dont worry, laws change all the time, hard to keep up with.

alright seems my post was a year too late lol, sorry guys but yea some cars have holes, cant remember if its at the front or back, but I love the holden badges, the rest can go, stupid executive badges making me feel cheap

Just a Note I took the Rear Lion Emblem off my VZ SS Crewman and this has two holes. So to get them filled the Touch up Guy is telling me I need to paint the whole Tailgate after filling, So I may just paint the Lion in Black same as the car .

I hope this helps anyone before they remove

Nice guide! Made it sound easy, very sure I want to try this.
Probably stupid question here:

1. Will the washing chemicals affect the paint protection (Conned into 'new' paint protection technology from Holden, doesn't need waxing etc). Anything I should know?
2. What glue would you use to stick a new badge on with?
3. Holden dealers wouldn't care about these modification would they?

Sky.

Yeah, I'm a bit concerned about this too....I'd like to ditch the badges on the rear of my VE....but a bit worried about damaging the paint, in theory the fishing line/prepsol method sounds logical and safe but Im a worrier

The main and smaller badges on the boot of a VE is only glued as far as I can see.....can anyone confirm that?

I work in maiintenace in a massive luxury residential complex, there are vehicles that havent moved in years everywhere that the pricks with too much money leave lying around, including a nice SS gathering dust that just saddens me everytime I pass her.....might find a neglected ford away from the CCCs and have a practise

Hey guys i did my VX S II today and it all went well except for the S logo on the boot lid. It was a different material than the rest, the v6, commodore and series 2 badges all came off perfect with some fishing line but i had to hack and pick for atleast 90 mins to get the S off.

It was strange, came off in bits and i ended up leaving little scratches from the fishing line. Other than that the series 2 badge ripped slight little bits of paint off with it but only noticable from like 1m and closer. All in all it looks sweet and gave me a good excuse to polish my car

Will post pics up tonight when i give my car a proper first photoshoot in a car park
