de-badge
 

i know the threads been done before but what do you guys think de-badge or not???:thumb: really cant decide

depends i'v got an early wrx and don't really like the crappy sticker so i'm having mine removed

personally, yes

My Scooby only has the pink STi Subaru badge on the front and thats it. I prefer a clean looking car with no model type badges etc, but it is personal preference TBH!! I would say de-badge all the way!! Have you tried to load a piccy of your car onto Photoshop and tried "erasing" the badges to see what it looks like? When I was umming and ahhing about getting clear indicators, someone photoshopped a piccy of my car with clear indicators, and it definitely helped me decide!
I'm sure someone on here would be able to do it for you, if you post a piccy?

im pretty handy at the simplier photoshop jobs :)

i might just do it i have seen a few on here n it looks good i have taken my turbo2000 badge off and put a carbon sti one underneath the drivers side rear light i just thinking about whats the paint work like under the subaru badge its a late 97 what do you think???:confused:

1994 WRX De-badged
 

Just found a picture of my first Impreza (pic was taken at a Derby Scoob meet back in early 2000).

I will post shortly for you to see.

The car was originally fitted with the rather poor quality WRX/green sticker.

I've just debadged most of mine. Just the pink STi is left on the back. Think it lOOks much better.

See my thread for newage pics:

is there any threads about the best way to de-badge :)

Fishing line mate! Cut a long strip off, and basically run it between the badge and the body work. The line will cut through any glue and then have a bottle of T-Cut and a bottle of elbow grease to hand!!!!

available from all good car stores... and some rubbish ones too :lol1:

I would lend you some of mine, but I'm getting seriously low!!!! :lol1:

:lol1: iv got plenty, im a young 'un

when i did my old vectra i put boiling/hot water over it first to soften it up a bit

yep boiling water to soften it, find a way of either peeling or getting something behind it to get it off, then some autoglym intensive tar and glue remover ;) then polish = perfecto

i dunno wether to do my red clasic or not

Glad to hear it... you can come and wax my car then :D :lol1:

darn sarf?? will cost a lot for my services and travelling time and fuel :p

Dark Blue Mica UK Turbo de-badged
 

Found another picture of one of my old Imprezas (this is a 1997 UK Turbo) and tought it might be helpful to see a different coloured car that has been de-badged.

The car was fitted with the SUBARU chrome style lettering:

yeah turbo2000 was easy to get off mate, just come right off its really easy to do it all. I found on the subaru badge its good to pour boiling water over it.
