Title: De-badged my baby today
Post by: osmesis on February 27, 2011, 01:26:07: Got bored so decided I would de-badge my car, can't believe how easy it was to do; only took about 20mins. Tools used were already lying around the house (hair dryer, fishing line, wax & grease remover) then I washed/polished/waxed.

Before:

Heh cheers, it was the best thing I could come up with without having to fork out for the custom layout.

Nah in NSW it costs $200 for a regular layout (AAA-A11, AA-11-AA etc). To have a different layout or 6 letters for example it costs $600 - too much for me.

Post by: eyecon on February 27, 2011, 22:09:51: Ditto. I removed mine with my bare fingers and it took about 10minutes. Virtually 0 tape residue too. It helps when the car is new and the tape hasn't had a chance to dry out in the heat.
