MRG1402 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 1.0L Ecoboost ST-Line, thinking about debadging, don’t know weather to just remove the ‘Ecoboost’ badge or to get rid of the ‘Fiesta’ badge while I’m at it... I mocked up three pics of my car to make the decision easier: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'd say it's personal preference. Like with my mk6.5 zetec s I think I looks good with the badges on. Might keep or remove the TDCI badge on the bottom right and change the S badge for a new one as that's faded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh I do think yours would look quite good without the TDCI badge! Gives it a cleaner look 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke4efc Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Personally I think debadging is a bit chavvy nowadays. It was sort of a trend in the early 2000's when fast and furious took over the car scene. Now it's sort of used to mask the identity of a car, so removing the badge that says it's a 1.2L on a corsa for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zain611 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 The S badge from factory is red but after many years that red starts to fade so may look cleaner replacing it for a new red one. Might also buy another S badge to put on the front bottom bumper grill. Yeah might see about the TDCI badge. It won't make people see that its a dirty diesel zetec s . What you planning then on debadging? It's hard for me to decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbell Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'd personally not, but if you do take both the badges off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRG1402 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Just went with removing the ecoboost badge in the end, I think removing both would look like I’m trying to hide the fact it’s a fiesta: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 No one's going to not recognise a fiesta because you removed the badge. Did you give it a good polish to remove the glue residue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRG1402 Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 yh gave it a good clean and then a polish and sealant applied 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pin stripe looks awesome btw, makes it look like there's actually something there instead of a black hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biff55 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 going badge free makes it alot easier cleaning the boot as dirt and polish residue collects around the gaps inbetween the letters. i go the whole hog and remove the fiesta badge as well , its not as if you need reminding what sort of vehicle you own is it ? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Never really understood de-badging a car. Personal preference i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooresy Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Anybody have any suggestions on how to remove the stubborn glue left behind from the TDCi badge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Lighter fluid or nail varnish remover works well. Wax the area afterwards to stop the paintwork looking dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
