Hi

Was thinking of removing some of the worn badges on the back of my stilo abarth. Have spoken to a few people and the general concensus is to use fishing line or dental floss, also maybe a hairdryer to warm the glue up. Then take the remaning glue of by finger and clean up with a bit of kerosene.
Nor sure about the kerosene part!
Any tips on this, also what to use for putting other badges on?

cheers

You can also use an old credit/debit card to remove badges ..and hairdryer is ok but dont get to close to the body with it

I used a credit card and heat gun to get mine off. Came off a treat!

make sure it's the F/I/A/T badge you are removing as the round fiat badge has pins on the back, which will need to be filled.

Bit of masking tape round the end of a table knife and a hairdryer... lifts em of perfect... then clean with a deoderant on a bit of cloth works wonders...

had to take mine off the back to spray em black!

i just used a hair dryer, and my fingers, the glue went weak enough for them to peel off.

'T' cutting the area where the badges used to be and then polishing makes for a perfect job.

Only applies to 3 door version. 5 door version does not have the round badge.

I´ve seen 5 door version with round badge here in spain, in fact, there´s one parked in the same street where my shop is, perhaps just changed?

it changed on the phase 2 Stilo's, late 53 plate onwards, I had a 5 door courtesy car with the round badge

Yep mine is an 02 and does not have the round badge, just the f/i/a/t which is very faded now and the 'stilo' missing the i and the abarth also very faded. Hence the debadging job this weekend.

Did the 'i' in the stilo ever have a dot on the top

you normally have to pay something like £2k extra to get a Dynamic badge in the first place
