Default Pink Badge

Hi All,

I have just got a new pink badge for the front of my classic. Whats the best way of getting the old black one off with causing it any damage?

Cheers

lump hammer and chisel.

Or if thats too scary you can heat up the edges of the badge with a hair dryer and gently prise it off...good luck

AK,
I found taking the grille off and placing it on top of a radiator in the house for 5 mins, then got the lid from a bic biro and prised it off worked well for me on my Newage.

I was thinking more along the lines of pneumatic drill.... but wasnt sure if this would be tough enough to remove it

apparently fishing line pulled from one side to another is a good way - then using tar removers etc to get the residue off after

Just park it in any car park in Birmingham - about 30 minutes should do it.

Funny old game this car malarky. I took my pink badge off and replaced with a black one because my car isn't an STI. Dead simple with a hairdryer and something to prise it off.
