re badge

Hey fellas im shore this has been covered before but i couldnt find anything... Is it possible to debadge my vr and replace them with vs badges? Do they fit straight on or will there need to be modifactions. If so would someone please explain the correct and easyest way to remove the badges?

I'm planning on changing to vs blinkers and getting some v6 ecotech bages to fit allso

They fit on mine. got one on the rear of it. had one on the front too but took it off when i got the bonnet resprayed. here is what it looks like on the rear.

My friend thought his motor was the Ecotech, because it had the ecotec badging on the underside of the side indicators, he was disappointed after I told him it was the buick V6.:bang:

debadging

i have a VX s2 & i want to debadge it but i dont no if it will leave a mark like wheather or not the paint has faded & will leave a mark where the badge was will it or not ???

Nah it shouldnt leave a mark man. Not on a more recent model like yours. I debadged my 15 year old VN and that isnt noticeable at all.

If there is a mark/difference in paint, just use a bit of Ajax mate :thumbsup:

ohhhg sweet so just use a hair drier is it & than nail polish remover?

 

[HVXII]

ive heard nailpolish wrecks you paint but

 

[1991_Vn2nV]

Nah no nailpolish remover...

Boil a jug of water mate, pour it over and use fishing line or a paint scraper just to push through behind the badge. The boiled water reallyyyyy softens it up.

i used a heat gun and fishing line.

make sure you dont keep the heat gun on the badge/paint too long, when it feels warm to touch (maybe a little more) put the fishing line behind the badge and use a sawing action to remove it. use your fingers to remove as much of the glue as possible (without burning your fingers like i did).

after that is done, get a soft rag and some eucalyptus oil to remove the excess glue. it wont damage the paint and will help clear a blocked use (handy with this being the hayfever season).

BEFORE YOU START make sure the badges do not have guide pins or you will have ugly holes that will need attending to...
