Debadging question

[Dan Cupra R]

Ok, I know how to de-badge the car. What I want to know is, have any of you Onvi Yellow Cupra owners removed the Ibiza badge ok? I know that the onvi yellow paint is not the best paint.

Have any of you with onvi yellow removed the badges and if so has the paint been a different shade after you have removed it?

I wanna de-badge mine but not if its gonna leave a noticable shade behind, I did a search and couldnt find what I was looking for.

I did find a funny argument with some matey and acidstarto that made me laugh

Debadge it, and then give it a good polish with something like Menz 2. (Or more readily available t-cut) and that should then clear any noticable colour difference.

If it doesn't then rebadge!

When I removed mine, the paint under the badges was darker. You'll have to polish it.

i would have thought that a good t-cut will sort that out, i didnt have any of this when i took mine off but it is black so it will probably be different. Just make sure you take the letters off really carefully so if in the worst case scenario you can glue them back on. The sticky stuff is a pig by the way!

 

[gavthelad]

oh i got beaten to it.......doh

Cheers for the info, Im just a little unsure cos I dont want a noticable shade left after Ive done it. The yellow paint is surprisingly sh*te. My roof for example is a different shade to the spoiler

 

[Dan Cupra R]

Oh and if any onvi yellow owners have pictures of the back of their cars after de-badging feel free to post so I can have a look.

 

[Forbez]

roof vs spoiler = metal vs plastic

But it seems with Onvi coloured cars, that all are the same,

 

[gavthelad]

i agree with forbez on that one.....its the nature of the material that is painted.

how did u guys get the badges off? hair dryer?

 

[gavthelad]

i just carefully peeled mine off with the blade of a screw driver.....if your careful you wont even touch the paint but i suppose a hairdryer would work, ive also heard fishing line works too?

 

[Funkyfin2000]

was that the SEAT and IBIZA signs, i wanna leave the cupra bits

 

[Empi5]

Hair Dryer and Dental Floss always works well.

 

[CupraTgirl]

Don't use t-cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CupraTgirl]

I have heard that is one way but i used dental floss, a dab of patience and my fingers

 

[gavthelad]

yeah just the SEAT and IBIZA badges......

I managed to the remaining glue off with some non abrasive polish aswell so with a bit of elbow grease and determination it will shift.

[gavthelad]
