(S) Debadge Question

Iwas wondering, i hav a mk2 punto and as i understand you can remove the rear badge without leaving any holes but can u remove the front badge? Jus wondering cause i dont fancy holes in the front of my car

no front leaves holes

the front bonnet badge will leave a hole, the back and side just peel off...

Thanks, saved me from getting impatient an jus ripping them off .

if you do decide to remove the rear and sides dont get impatient because ripping them of will do some serious damage to the cars paint... do it carefully...

You can use a hairdrier to heat up the rear badges to make them easier to take off (don't roast that paint tho), then just need maybe some WD to get all of the adhesive off and some t cut etc to polish and ur good to go.

For the front you can just fill in the holes, prime and paint. Don't think itd cost much if you get someone to do it for you.

Thanks, i will do it lateras ihave woken up to a flat tyre

I pulled mine off when I got it and it did no damage.

Get a bowl of hot soapy water, (out of the tap, not the kettle), and give them a good soaking, and I mean a GOOD soaking. Then use an old phone card to prise them away from the body. This works better than a hairdryer as the glue holding them on gets tackier when wet.

Then get some glue or tar remover from your local motor shop, I got some cheap "Sticky Stuff Remover " from halfords for a fiver and it worked perfectly getting the residue off.


Also whilst I'm here I'd like to ask about THESE
Will they replace and cover the holes left over from the bonnet badge,I reckon it would look 100% better than the blue one I have on my Red Punto.

Theyre pants... they aren't the same shape as the original fiat ones and and my neighbours faded to pink after a few months. Also they don't have any fixings, so i had to braze a nut on the back for her to hold it to the bonnet. You could probably stick it with panel adhesive, but you'll never get it off if it goes pink lol

EDIT - from the same seller aswell

I have the new red badges on my 2B.. think it's the only one.

Cheers I'll stay well away then

You mean the New badges? Like the one on the Bravo??? Are they a similar shape/size?

Did you debadge? If so, did you get any pics and how easy was it?

Yeah i did it, altho the part of the paint where the Punto badge was has left a kind off faded "Punto" mark on it, ill get a pic tommoro cause its dark jus now but any ideas ifit can be fixed?

I was thinking of doing that! But i wasnt sure if they'd be the same size!

just polish it! Auto Glym super resin polish will work fine, or any other decentish one will
