Prized mine off carefully with a knife, then polished the area to remove all the sticky stuff, comes off pretty easy.

I replaced SUBARU with SCOOBY

And more......



Try some dental floss to remove them and then polish the sticky off. Less chance of slipping and scratching the paintwork.

Dental floss did the trick for me, not a bug but you get the idea (View my Scoob)...

Perhaps there is something I am not getting. I have recently bought a a standard bugeye with only 27000 miles. I've started to mod it but really can't see the benefit of removing the rear badges. Sorry, but I think it looks better with them on.

Everyone has different ideas as to what looks good and not.

What mods have you done? maybe yours wont be everyones cup of tea

Wish it had just been pads on my hawkeye - they decided to drill holes for the Subaru badge this time round so bit harder to get rid of - but they had to go

Here's mine:



I used a plastic filling trowel thingy to get them off and then auto glym tar remover to get the horrible sticky foam stuff off with. Hope you like it.
