Taking off Badge

[jgrimm]

Im trying to clean up the look of the rear and I was wondering about how to de-badge my 318ti emblem thing. So what do you use, how do you do it, and is it noticeable that anything was there in the first place?

Thanks

Use a blow dryer to heat it up, then use dental floss to slowly pry the badge off, then remove the rest of the residue off the paint. Don't forget to wax the area after doing this.
It may or may not be noticeable depending on if the paint was faded or what not.

Mine came out fine.

you don't actually need to heat it up...

just get some adhesive remover (goo-gone or something) ... spray a little bit of that around the emblem ... use dental floss or fishing line ... and in a 'cutting' fashion, just go back and forth as close to the body as you can get it, the less adhesive u leave on, the easier to clean up...... then just put some goo-gone on a cloth and start rubbing away the excess.

Heating it up may actually make it harder to remove whats left after u pry the badge off... I de-badged many vechiles and never once used heat. It took me less than 5 minutes with my method and very little elbow grease.
