Debadging Experience
I've wanted to debadge my 3 series for quite some time now. After browsing the site and a trying work week, which lead to a bottle of Cabernet I was ready. So I grabbed my floss, girlfriend's hairdryer, and a bottle of car polish. At first, I found the floss was pretty weak in integrity so I switched to thread which worked like a charm. My girlfriend comes home to me standing in the garage, piss drunk with a blowdryer on high pointed at my car, a piece of thread wrapped around my neck, and a glass of red wine in the other hand. Must have been a fantastic sight lookin from the outside in. Nevertheless, after I threaded the emblem's off, I found it was much easier to rub the soft spot of a finger over the sticky residue and manually peal it off. This prevents any additional scratches or damage from any goop cleaner. Then a quick clean of the area and polish worked perfect. Considering the flatter and more spacious trunk panel on the new E90
I think ripping the emblem off is definately the way to go. Happy Debadging. |
