Hi fellas,

I've given it some thought and I've decided to remove my GTR badges to go for the clean look.

Do you guys know how to do this safely without leaving any scratches? Although I know there aren't any screws, the badge is pretty well stuck on with the strong 3M tape as it's an original GTR badge?

Cheers.

Kev

why would you...? post up pics when done i wanna see it.

I have removed a few GTR badges over ther years and I use the fishing line method.

It is important to start the line between the adhesive and the badge and work it back and forth in a cutting action. The trick is to leave the adhesive strip on the panel and not mark the paint. When the badge is off then soften up the adhesive with something like prepsol and slowly peel it off.

Good luck and if you take your time you can get them off with no paint damage.

I Used the old hair dryer, No fishing line just got something under it. Use a rag to protect the paint if its a damaging object the as you still circulate the heat around the badge area pell back the badge. Then used eucalyptus oil to help get off the glue.
