Re: stilo badge/lettering

all i used was a credit card to carefully prise up the letters and some auto glym intensive tar remover, which i got off ebay for a few quid, u'll also need elbow grease!

as you can see on this pic, no trace of the old badges

Cotton!!!

Use cotton to cut the sticky pad, then use Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover to get rid of the excess pads. Using a credit card could scratch the paint, then T-Cutting it will thin down the lacquer coating when it's not necessary!

Oh, and FcukMyFiat, get rid of those awful Reg Vardyesque number plates!!

Re: stilo badge/lettering

don't think i saw the right comment here, so it might have been said already...
taking off the centenary badge is a right f*cker... well, it's easy, but it leave 2 x 10mm holes and a 75mm recess. leave it there and cover it up with an abarth badge or something

Re: stilo badge/lettering

I used a wall paper steamer, took the steamer plate off and used the nozzle to work round the lettering, they just fell off, no prizing off needed.
