Re: How to de-badge my car?
well...reason we sold the bmw and got a smaller thing was a few reasons...
wanted cheap insurance.... wanted cheaper tax... wanted better fuel economy.... needed 5 doors as now have a 5 month old son (well my mrs wanted 5 doors not me) and we own a flat atm but want to buy a house so basically trying to reduce all of our outgoings....we have a good chunk of equiety in the flat but still cant afford the type of house we want just yet..... oh..and £3594 has been spent on a breast enlargement for my mrs (her thing wanted for yrs not mine!) which she is having in 9 days! sorry to derail thread op! |

Re: How to de-badge my car?
Pretty easy, i'd start off with hot water. Think kettle! It depends how old the car is, I took a badge off a car that was 1 year old and it pretty much dropped off. Whereas on a mates 7 year old car we had to use hot water and white spirit. Didn't damage the paint at all, but of course be sparing.

Re: How to de-badge my car?
They do pedal cars that big?
at the end of the day, everyone will know its a 1.6 by the size of the exhaust and lack of anything remotly making it look more than a 1.6, also when you go to pull away... Was this the same golf you were putting 18's on as well? |

Re: How to de-badge my car?
any car without any badges on it are guaranteed to be a poverty spec model with a tiny engine. FACT
Saw a M5 one day with a 530d badge on it though, now that's kinda cool? |
