Heat the bagdes with a hairdryer, then either pull them off, or use fishing line behind the badge to remove them. Use metho to get rid of the excess glue.

Or go and park your car in Bankstown or Paramatta for a couple of hours. If your car is still there when you return, it would be a good bet that the badges would be gone. :spoton:

Get a piece of fishing line and slice under the bagdes, they come off easy :thumbsup:

I did it with the fishing line and then soaked the gluey bits with metho and rubbed the f&*k out of it and I scratched the paint and there is still the out line of the xr6 turbo there unfortunately the car is black

looks like I might need 2 buff it

Hmm, I was going to do this but my car is black, might have to get the buffer out.

I think I will wait till I have 300kw first hehe :lol:

Dont use metho on your paint. Use eucalyptus oil to get of the sticky bits off or anything else like tar. Too much metho can ruin your clear coat eucalyptus oil is safe. :spoton:
