Best way to put the subaru letters back on?
Hey there,
My car took a very small knock in the back. As a results its currently getting the boot resprayed and bumper replaced.
I know the letters will be removed, and I asked the garage not to put them back on because:
a) I want to see if I like it bear
b) I want to be the ones to put them on as I fear the body shop will mis-space them or put them on too high/low.
So, if and when I re-add the lettering, whats the best way to get it right, as it was before it got a slap up the rear?
I have some photos up close of the boot before it went to the garage, just wondered what methods people on here have used in the past?
Cheers

Yeah I kinda like it, but I really want to keep it as it should be, as if the slap up the *** never happened?
If I leave it bear I will be reminded of why its bear, it took a hit. That makes me sad :-(

When you get the replacement lettering which are about £65 from a stealer, the SUBARU comes attached to a cardboard template so you cannot mis-space the lettering.
This is how I did mine

You can't put the letters back on, when you remove them it pulls all the sticky stuff of the back, it will look a real mess if you try to put them back on by glueing them.

I done my freinds over a year ago and show no sign of moving, evan when he washes the car with a jet wash.
Hope this helps.

Just a tip, when sticking them back on use masking tape to get them straight and level, get the surface clean and get a hairdrier/heatgun on the boot to warm it up (be careful though) then heat again once on.
