GTR Badge on GTS-T

[Drkside]

I recently bought an R32 GTS-T, and the previous owner had put a GTR badge on it. I have to admit with the kit and spoiler it looks good however I'm riddled with guilt about its authenticity.

My dilemna is that the badge is stuck well on, and if I try to remove it I will damage the paintwork. Can anyone tell me what exactly is entailed in debadging a car?

use a hairdryer to soften the stickey stuf, then slide fishing line up and down behind it to dislodge the badge.

finally, use a credit card to wipe the excess goo off, then use a small bit of eucalyptus oil to get rid of the residue.

Only coz Jas once stuck a GTR badge on his hyundai and then people teased him he had to learn the hard way :-p

but yes he is right.... 10 points! I like the credit card bit! if only i thought of that instead of a knife when i debadged my VL commodore many years ago and made a few nics in the paint....

Stanley knife perhaps??

i think the real question here is why the hell did the previous owner put a GTR badge on GTS-t. It should be pretty easy to tell by lookin at the quarter panels.

I have seen a Ferarri badge on a red 180sx once.

pauuly, youd be suprised who can be fooled.. most people dont know the difference between an R and a T. Only a real enthusiast woulud.

They just hear about R's and whenever they see skyline they often think its one of those GTR's.

Ive had a couple of people ask me about mine. *slap*

Ive seen a GTR badge on a EL falcon down rocko way. haha

It does fool a lot of people, especially cos my car has a GTR wing, side skirts and a FMIC. However I know its not a GTR and thats good enough reason to debadge it!
