SupraSapphire Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Some scum bag must have taken a shine to the Supra badge on the back of my car last night. Or at least half of it cos now I've got a "upra"!!!!!! Scrotes! What should I do now? How difficult will it be to remove the rest of the badge? It looks really shit at the moment so I'll try and do something with it tonight when I get home from work. What's the easiest way to remove it?

Timwildman Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Weight saving mod, got to be 10bhp Edit: Sorry, I hate people that dont have respect for someone elses property. Must be an excuse to replace it with a gold jobbie, or a shinny TRD badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 hair dryer, on warm be carefull and heat the glue, then the rest of the badge should pull off, carefull you dont remove any of your paintwork at the same time, then just order a replacement badge, they arent expensive,in fact, you can have mine if you like, ask dude nicely he might send you it once he's removed it!

Kevin Huntley Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Dental Floss also comes in very Handy! Go fully de-badged and keep them guessing. HTH Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 its ok for us with major paintwork to get de badged kev, but if you want to de badge when you aint re spreying you get left with some rather ugly holes that they use to fit the badge streight, you need to have the holes welded up and the panel respreyed coz i wanted to de badge mine years ago... de badged and de aerial'd deffo the way forward though!

SupraSapphire Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 I think the badge is just stuck on albundy. I'll have a better look later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 you'll need to let dude know coz he'll be stripping it soon, (see project wideboy), and knowing dude he'll just whack it off with his biggest hammer, unless you specifically tell him to be carefull coz you want it!

SupraSapphire Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 No worries. Sounds like your badge is different to mine then so a trip to my local Toyota dealer maybe on the cards. I'll see how well the badge removal goe. If there are no marks I'll stay badgeless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albundy68 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 good call, badgeless is cool, best get rid of the toyota ones while youre there, as long as you dont mind baseball capp'd nova idiots asking how much your ferrari cost! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Huntley Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Al is right, the actual Toyota Badge in the middle of the boot leaves two holes when removed. I have had mine removed for 2 years now. I removed mine around 2 years ago and it does need welding filling and then repainting. I think it cost me £150 to do front and back but very worthwhile in my opinion. Or you could get a Top Secret badge to replace the stock Toyota badge which also looks cool and covers the holes at the same time.

SupraSapphire Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 Great tip about the dental floss Kev. I just heated it up with the hairdryer, got the dental floss under it and it came straight off. There are a couple of small scratches/chips where the low life used a screwdriver or something but all in all a great result. I was in such a rage when I first saw it but it's all ok now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
