Default Badge and Sticker Removal Day

Been wanting to do this since got the car, so taday was the day.
First removed the WRX/Impreza/Type UK badges from the rear, then the STI stickers from both front doors, then the front grill badge and the fog cover stickers, these ones was a pain! My fingers still hurt from these!
The mudflaps had white STI stickers and when removed due to the fading the STI looked same colour as the car,know it may not last very long.
And yes did have all the tools IE heat gun, glue remover,brake cleaner (great stuff for lots of jobs) and last was cut and polish.
Just need to polish the rest of the car now.

What you think? Nice clean look?

Nice clean look. Prefer the clean look on a Newage and badges/stickers on JDM Classic's.

Oh no! - nobody will know what it is, now

Only downside is that if you come to sell it, people will think it's been crashed and had a complete re-spray

Still has STI on the IC and the brakes are a sign/pink suspension, could go on...... People will still know what it is.
When the time comes to sell stickers can go back on simple, no big cost for the sale.
Never liked badges/stickers on cars, just my taste.
