Hello

The previous owner of my Soarer chose to de-bage the cars limited and rear badges, its a fantastic job and it looks amazing in the rear but iv purchased some Limited badges for the sides as id like to have those.

My question is what is the best way to attach these to the car without damaging paint or having any adverse affects on the paint at all and obviously so they wont fall off after a few months.

Also if anyone has a picture of the location of the limited badges on the car id like to see it so i get the positioning just right.

thanks.

matt a lot of people use sikaflex, but this will damage the paint if you try and remove, although you can get most of it off using petrol. i used liquid nails for my front griffin badge (cos its pretty special). Ive never heard of anything that will stick well yet be removable without trace.

Matt, use double sided tape. Not the thick foam type, but the really thin as Gary said.
Use a very fine blade and cut/trim the tape from the back side. That way you won't have any tape showing on the front.
