I'm going to fit the v.5/6 grille and v.3/4 frosted headlights to my v.1 WRX.

I wish to remove the grille's existing STi pink 'i' badge and replace it with the STi pink
'Subaru 6 stars' one.

I understand that the badge is held on by very, very high tack adhesive and is a bugger to prise the badge out . What's the best method to remove the existing badge... plus also the best way of reapplying the replacement badge?

Heat it up with a hairdryer and prise it off with an old credit card.

I just warmed mine up with a paint stripper heat gun and used some nylon fishing line to break the seal of the tape came off a treat

Yes daz, fishing line would be ideal for that. I'll try the heating up/fishing line method first. If it's a bugger, then the hole in the rear trick will be pressed into action

Cheers everyone
