Rear Badges?!!

[keetola]

Hi, hoping for a reply on this..

I have the Fiat Punto 2002 (W) Active 8v 5 door full body colour is light green (not the black plastic bumpers)

I want to remove the blue FIAT squares and the Punto Letters..

Whats the best way to do this, and are they just stuck on with glue?

Thanks all

heat up with hair dryer and slip fishing line or something behind to get it off

then use something to remove the gunk left behind

Yeah they are stuck on with like a glue backed foam. I took mine off my car by heating them up well with a heat gun. Not too close or you will bubble the paint, but i did get them almost too hot to touch so i wouldn't worry too much.
This will mean that they just pull of nicely bringing the foam and glue with it.

Then you will have some dirt left behind. Just use a cloth and some lighter fluid to clean it off.

One thing though. If your car is old enough to have that badge then the paint will have more than likely faded around it leaving the area they cover darker.

All done, didn't even need a hair dryer. Used bit of water (Luke warm).
Slid my driving license behind the badges, and they peeled of nicely!

Hey,

I Was Wondering How To DoThis As Well For A Wee While Now, But This Morning I Gave In All I Used Was:

Boiling Hot Water,
Sponge,
Bank Card,
WD40.

Soak The Letters Then Use The Bank Card Behind And Just Slide Across As It Is Just Glue. Once All The Letters Are Off There Will Be Residue Left Due To The Glue I Then Just Sprayed It With The WD40 And Easily Wiped Off But What I Did Find Out Was Once It Is All Cleaned Down It Was A Diff Shade To The Rest Of The Boot But This Myt Just Be The Case To Me As My Car Is Yellow

Hope This Helps You x
