Nice work Mickey I suggest hitting it with the 2000 grit sandpaper to scuff it up abit to make it even more shinier and get rid of the bubbles

yeh mate i like it bare. it would look subtle if you sprayed it white too! has anyone got pics of white rear badges? i wonder if it would look any good?

I was trying to find 1000+ grit for my mouse sander last weekend... anyone know where I can get some? I am willing to pay postage and purchase costs lol

dude someone stole your rear badge

**Mrk_Mickey** · 07-08-2008, 12:15 PM

Ahahaha.

White, hmm? I'll see

For now I'm just going to leave it off because I don't want to silicone it on if I'm not 100%.

Dammit, I'm still waiting for my wheels!

Put it back on, black.

Just my oppinion.

i'm with preen.. i reckon unless you fill that hole (insert giggle), it looks kinda odd with the indentation..

shave or badge

How did you remove the badge? Any special trick to doing it Mickey?

I was gonna pull mine off aswell and paint it black to match my front one.

Looks good without, but the hole does look a tad odd!

**Mrk_Mickey** · 08-08-2008, 01:56 AM

Mmmm it's annoying me because I don't want it to be obvious and black; and even though it's more subtle with no badge that indentation will give me the shytes. I wonder how hard it is to weld....

KIDDING!
I'm liking the look of Jondarren's mk4 rear badge...I think the blue would go with my car despite my efforts to exterminate all traces of colour on the exterior

so who knows yet. The badge isn't going on for now anyways, I'll decide later.

Lorenz, just put a hairdryer on the face of the badge for a minute or so; it helps to heat up the adhesive. Get a flathead and tape up the ends; Push the flathead behind the badge and carefully pry it off while your hairdryer is still warming it. Works a treat

Then clean the indentation with goo-gone or similar.
