Fr Key Badge - Fitted

[col.mc]

Try golfturbo - he seem very helpful [ if the quantities are there it should be a goer]

I might be interested in this too, but I'm not sure if it would look a bit OTT, being that there's already an FR logo on the steering wheel.

Anyone able to photochop one up and we can gauge interest?

Now that's funny! lol

Don't like the FR steering wheel one, as already pointed out there are enough Fr badges inside already.

Excellent!

 

[col.mc]

Nice one!

Yeah i think there's probably enough FR badges on the wheel, now if there was a big FR and and a small S at the bottom that might be the one...

Ordered the FR one to replace the shabby Seat badge on our key...

Will change the badge on our key and see if the missus notices...
...as no doubt she'll think I'm sad buying one of these...

BTW, all you Cupra owners check out the "Stop Press" section of the revised listing below for a preview of the Cupra 'R' badge they are selling soon...

looks good, until yopu lose your key and then its going to SO easy for the guy to take the car as well. Excellent, explain that one to your insurance.

Phil - the R ones are cool, might just get one ! even though its not technically correct for the mk2 !

Chippenhamwilts - .... what ??

Having trouble getting my old one off without making a mess of the black plastic.

Not received mine yet (a week...) though so no rush...

Agreed H8T - I think the R ones look sportier than the FR badges, even if not that accurate for mk2...

I think Chippenhamwilts means it will be easier to pick out which car parked nearby that the keys fit...if you're stupid enough to lose them...

..mind you, same goes for the normal Seat badge as most models are pretty rare cars around here...

yeah im dreading it.. dont want to ruin it

maybe somehow heating the glue slighly.. i was thinking about heating up a small knife to get under the S badge and break up the glue then some white spirt on a cotton ear bud to get old sticky stuff off ready for the new one

Try heating it with a hair dryer and using some fishing line (if you have it) lift up one side gently and work way across with fishing line, this wont damage the key, its the best way to remove exterior badges etc well.

Liking the heat idea. Have used dental floss in the past. Saying that I had a hair dryer in the past too...

It is here btw.

 

[AndyVTR]

10 minutes on a radiator and it's off. Just with a normal Swiss army knife blade too.

 

[H8T WP]

cool ! cant wait for the R ones

 

[PhilYerBoots]

Finally got round to swapping my badges and...oh dear...what a dogs dinner I made of that...

Tried the heat method on a radiator as suggested, to 'soften' the glue...but would the little b**stard budge...??!!

I used a stanley knife to try to get under the edge of the old badge but due to lack of patience slipped a couple of times, scoring the plastic quite badly...

Anyway, after completely wrecking the old badge and having to bend it upwards to prise off (the old glue just did not want to let go..) I finally got the new badge fitted after a frustrating 20 minutes...

It certainly looks good and was probably worth it but just be careful not to mark your fob like I did...numpty..!.

 

[H8T WP]

haha ! i had some probs too, few scratches ! , i ended up covering the rear of the key with masking tape so i wouldnt scratch it further... finally fitted though...

quick pic

 

[PhilYerBoots]

Bit blurry but looks a better job than mine H8T WP...tbh I was too embarrased to post a photo of my effort...I even managed to get the new badge slightly out of alignment...

 

[H8T WP]

pah, its only £4.50 could just get another one and a whole new key fob and start fresh...

i got annoyed with mine, it was well stuck... i even burnt my self on the metal lol as i heated it up too much

 

[PhilYerBoots]

Ouch...!

I suppose they are cheap enough, but I couldn't guarantee I wouldn't mess it up again...
