Styling help - debaging/taking off graphics

[rodanmk2]

Right

I want to debadge my Sei. Des anyone know whether the bonnet and boot badges are simply glued on, or are there holes underneath with the badges screwed on?

Just I don't want to take em off, and have gaping holes in their place.

Also....


The horrible diamond graphics on the side strips - are these just stuck on? I presume and bit of time picking at them and you can take em off, but I also guess that there is plenty of minging glue left behind.

Anyone done any of this yet? guidance would be appreciated!

Cheers

The bonnet badge bolts on and leaves holes if you remove it, but the rear badges stick on with double sided sticky foam tape. To get the back ones off, use a piece of string like a hacksaw behind the badge whilst gently pulling the badge away. Use Tar remover or a mild solvent (e.g. not Cellulose Thinners!!) to get the rest of the sticky off, then you'll need to T cut and polish the areas to get the shine nice and even.

nuts

I was hoping to get rid of the front one especially!

Never mind, first things first the rear ones can come off.

Oh and Pete - a veritable mindfield of information!

Give that man a job in Fiat!

The side strips are just transfers, mine are coming of already, but it has left a hole which is quiet strange considering they seem to be tranfers

Its because the holes are for the little rubber bits that are on base models seicentos, one way of fiat saving money

i was in 1 of thos automatic 1's (bcos im 2 lazy 2 clean my car ) but i find it very hard 2 get a nice shiny unmarked finish on black and it normally gets dirty again very quickly[}].

 

[CentoEvo]

Never ever take a black car through a car wash, The stiff bristles scratch the paint more than cleaning it.

I have a black sei too and coz its black it shows up every little scratch, use the daddy of all car shampoos, Autoglym and it will clean and protect it at the same time, leaving it all nice and shiny.
