Removing the C220i badge on boot

[fredboo]

HI.
does anyone know how to or can recommend removing, or what i would need to use to remove the c220i badge on the boot?

also would it leave any marks on the paintwork?

( i used to have a jag afew yrs ago and u could use a credit card or strong plastic tool to remove any badges on the boot)


many thanks

Hi

Lots of posts on this -search for de-badging.

Hair dryer (warm air) and dental floss works a treat !

yep hair dryer (them were the days!!) a soft folded old towel to kneel on, & a bit of effort.

place the towel on the floor where you intend to kneel.
are you replacing the badge? if so under the old decal add a line of masking tape to show line & level, mark on the masking tape a line just behind the C then the same infront of the O or I that way you can replace the decal with out the worry of a tape measure.
then with nice even strokes with the hair dryer warm the decal up noy too close, enough to warm the badge up, remember the badge will get hot (normal) add a little pressure behind the badge ( do not use any screwdrivers) an old card will be ok wrapped in a cotton cloth.
remove any excess adhesive with a little white spirt-then was off with warm water.
add some cutting paste then .polish to finish
