PC'ing around rear badges...

[Meek_racing]

Is this best done by taking the badges off or just taping them off and polishing around them?

I've read that one badge has 3 pins in and the other is glued into place? If this is the case, how easy can the pinned badge be romoved without breaking them, and what product do I need to use to stick the other badge back into place?

Thanks,

Mike

Clio Badge just pulls off.

Either be care full round the R/Sport ones (just trim taped on), though if you run over them with a polishing or finishing pad you will just clean them up nicely anyway, but would need to spend some time cleaning the residue out of the gaps - I tended to tape them up.

I found removing the clio one a right b*****d, tight as... was waiting for it to fall into 2 bits & that was doing it from inside the boot lid which means you need to take all the lining out

i need to do this its filthy around my lettering.

so the clio is on by glue and renault is on by pins right? i aint got a sport badge

Other way round mate, clio is held by pins, mine was tight as fook, the renault when is held on by addhessive although have heard its pins on the PH1's, not 100% sure on that though, best way to remove that is heat it up with a hair dryer & get some floss to run behind it then remove the residue with something like ag tar remover

Anyone any wisdom on best/safest way to remove the Clio badge? I understand it just pulls off but do you need to slip anything behind it or is it easier to remove the inner lining of the bootlid?

Thanks.

Mine just pulled of easily from the outside just using my fingers.

Wish mine had done that rich... had to take the lining out, hate pulling those plastic clips, just waiting for the pop.. or in some cases crack :dapprove:

Mine felt loose from new, half expected it to fall off one day !

With the badge that is glue into place... what is the best product to stick it back?

 

[Rich]

It is stuck on with double sided trim tape, so you would need to get some more.

 

[AlexG]

number plate tape!

I use fish wire to get them off.
