de-badging

[dazzyboi]

Whats the best way to de-badge my 1.4 N15 Almera? are the badges stuck on or pinned in? had ago at the stickers on the side yesterday but they wernt budging by my fingers at all.

The Badges on the back are not pined down they are stuck on with double sided tape get some tar remover by auto glym and it should sort it all out

the badge on the front is pined down so you will have to take it out and smooth it off with filler and do a respray

or u can boil the kettle and poor the hot water over the badges, then just rub off the sticky parts that are left

Hairdryer

Best thing is to use a hairdryer then remove any sticky stuff with tar remover.

Where can tar remover be bought from?

Pretty much any car shop, halfords sell it.

I used the autoglym stuff

Use a piece of fishing line. Place it behind the badge and work back and forth in a saw like motion until the dabge comes off then use tar remover or hair dryer to take off the rest of the sticky and finish with T-cut.... Job done..

hair dryer then use a chemical called anasetone to remove the glue wich costs about £1 from a chemist this stuff is used in hospitals to remove plaster resi-due ive used this on tons of stuff its the business cheap and easy and wont effect your paint it actualy brings the paint work up!

that anasetone sounds like great stuff. The tar removed is not too good on the metalic paint work
