Im tired of people saying "oh your the one with a seat ibiza" so i want to take away the seat and ibiza badges and just leave the cupra on the back. Am i right in thinking i can do this without a heat gun and just use a hair dryer until they gently prize away?im pretty sure their glued on. And then the glue should roll off?

I actually did mine without heating them at all. Was bloody hard and i would not recomend doing it this way as you might take away your paint with it.

I used a heat gun with mine, worked a treat. What do you mean, put the badges inside the car?

Put the seat above the centre vents, the ibiza will go behind the ash tray and infront of the gearstick perfect amout of space, like it was made for it! here some pics anway haven't got the letters inside yet still have to remove the sticky stuff! and have got nothing to reattach them with! number plate stickys are to messy!

Sorry about the quality of the photo! but gives you a rough idea of where im going to put the badges above the vents, above the centre screen and at the bottom of the photo infront of the gearstick before the ashtray!

Yea i am using the same ones, the only one that broke was the tiny s that went under ibiza, started on this one so i knew how fragile they were. i can still use it as it only bent abit, but i creased it when i tried to flatten it back! will use a blunt knife and tar remover tomorrow on my break to try and get the sticky crap off them.
