To De-badge or not to De-badge! - That is the question?

[CupraTgirl]

isnt c2pra bezzaboys plate??

No IIRC his is 'C2RPA'

 

[CupraTgirl]

Might be, used to be on a blue Cupra that then went back to it's '51 plate after Colin sold it. Alex you did right not to buy it, aparently it was a bit problematic at times!!

Yeah i think thats the one!

Really? What problems did it cause? Was it just with the transferring?

 

[Craig!]

Nah, If I heard right off Colin he used to have nothing but problems with it all the time, it's orig./current plate is N?51 DOH.

Just make sure you do it properly!!!!! boiling hot water and a credit card!!!! Would love to meet the person who done mine. They removed the cupra badge with a screwdriver!!!! Left a nice sctratch which had been covered up until i had it valeted and the high pressure washers took the paint out of the scratch!!!!!

used a screwdriver?

 

[Ibiza Cupra]

well after it had been valetted there were 2 scratches which could only of bin this. It was a women owner!!!!! no offence alex!

 

[Ninja]

lol must have been then.. I must admit i did try to prise the bumpstrips off my 106 gti with a screwdriver a few years back

Best thing for removing them is dental floss, then any sticky residue that is left can be removed with your finger. Also clean the area first, dont want to be scratching the paintwork when rubbing into dust.

i have seen it done on a black golf where they colour the main VW badge in the middle black also. i think that could look cool on a beeza. seen it also on some1s LCR on here too im sure?

Have you done it with hot water and a credit card before? I hadnt thought of that but a good idea

Hhmm not all women are like that?

Yeah thats what we did when removing mine and gave it a wax after

 

[Daz_gibbo]

Pair of pliers and some emery cloth. Job done.

 

[F2 Stu]

Loose the actual hatchlever/badge, rather than attempt something trivial as unsticking the lettering.

 

[nogutsnoglory]

definately looks better without it, although mine still shows the SEAT IBIZA marks underneath
Have removed the front cupra badge and paint was falling off and said _up___! but left the back one, might colour code it like Olly20vt has, looks sweet imo

Yeah his does look good

I think you can get the Cupra badges with Red in the letters

I got two new Cupra badges in about April, the front one is fine but the back one only has two Black bits in the letters left

 

[jNx]

Gotta be done PROPERLY!

You need to use cotton for it imho, its really really easy. Heat it up with some hot water, then get the cotton thread and gently cut through the glue on the back of the badge. Use it in a see saw motion and it should come off no problem.

other... less is more to an extent. debadged is cool but as most people on the road don't really know what cupras actually are i like to give them a hint. ebay stylee turbo badges are a mahoosive no no though!!!
