Jeremyc Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hey guys, Just did a minor debadging of the 1.6 on my car. I think it improves the look in my opinion. Have you done it if so share below! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I wish mate, its a Windows Paint job lol! Free programme built into most computers, comes in quite handy for things like that. Its just sneeky copying and pasting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerrardLFC Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 How difficult was it to do without damaging the paintwork? Would love to stick a S on my MK3.5 but would like to be able to remove it without damaging its paintwork.

Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Just warm it up with a hair dryer and it will come off easily. Then use a bit of wax to remove any remaining tack from the adhesive pad. I have debadged most of my previous cars with no problems at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just sprayed it generously with wd40 and used fishing line to pull it off. Then rubbed it off with methylated spirits and elbow grease. No damage at all to paintwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Definitely do not use a hot air gun lol! A hair dryer is the hottest you want to put near paintwork unless youre very brave! I have used very hot water in the past too with good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I've hot gunned badges, plate pads and stickers to remove from paintwork many times, keep it moving, not too close and its been fine... I haven't debadged the Focus yet though, kinda like the titanium and TDCI bagdes, just a shame they've weathered badly so may end up removing them anyway lol.

WES180 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Well if anyone blisters their paint with a heat gun its down to you Tom lol! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Haha, I'm sure people can make their own decisions... If anyone's stupid enough to stand there for 5 minutes with the gun on full heat against the paintwork that's not my problem. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 mine has the 1.6 missing, surprising as the only other owner was a 66 year old lady! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celticfan Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 My daughter bought me an S to go on mine. I don't want some idiot taking it off so I'm watching out for people with a heat gun /-) I'm more concerned about some lowlife taking it off so I need to find a (very) strong adhesive.

I would just fit it as is. You may have been joking but if someone wants to pinch it they will do alot of damage if you use a strong adhesive.

TomsFocus Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Tbh if someone wants it they'll probably just rip it off with a screwdriver regardless... I can't imagine people actually steal badges though...surely there are much nicer parts of your car (alloys? Stereo? ) they could be nicking...

Celticfan Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 No, I was being a bit tongue in cheek. I doubt they would bother being delicate so I'd rather they could almost peel it off :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
