Badge Removal

[travelswithanrcz]

Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread a bit, but is there a definitive guide or video anywhere for removing the front badge on a MK1 (just the badge, not the chrome or the black bit).

I'd quite like to replace mine with the new Peugeot badge.

Hi everyone we just got the car back from the body shop, had to drive down a dusty lane but I've taken photos below of badge and other bits. I'll add some of the photos on other threads as to interior sat nav etc.

It looks better in the flesh but we can't wash the badge area for a week as it's still hardening

Not that I'm great on bodywork terminology if you have any questions in all ears

That looks great. Do you know how easy it was to remove the old Peugeot badge at the front? I pretty much want to do exactly this with mine, except I'll be keeping the silver chrome.

Do you know how the new badge was fixed in? Is it glued?

Cheers

Hi the badge was easy to fix as I understand as it's just glued like the back rcz badges, the link to the badge is as follows...

It's made of metal and fits over the lion plug holes holding the original badge, so works well

Yes we were between painting the u shape as it cant easily be removed, filming it was another option, but the guy had the paint sprayer out and said no problem. If it marks badly we'll get it screen filmed as we have a relative who is great at detailing.

Hope it helps

Dude, super thanks for that answer as I didn't want to go removing the front badge and then finding that I'd actually just f**ked the front completely

No, you should be good if its just the lion being removed, it's clipped in and I think they got to it partly from the underside to pop it out I believe most use a heat gun on low setting or hairdryer

But the badge is quite durable, but only time will tell as to stone chips etc.

Just make sure its dead central as it could look a little odd if off slightly. Good luck with it

Gracias amigo. Measure twice, do it once and all that

The best way to get the badge off is with a piece of fishing line or fine thread and work back and forth around the badge to cut the adhesive tape.
