GTS side badge removal

[Chiveroni]

Hi all

I received a nice random orbital polisher for Christmas and plan to use it to get the paintwork (which is looking quite hazy in places) back to its original glory. Does anyone know how easy it is to get the trident badges off the rear three-quarters / C posts and the Pininfarina off the front wings? Will make life easier to use the machine. Are they glued or is it a much more challenging task? I'd love to hear any hints and tips from those of you that were already courageous enough to have done this

Thx!

Mine were stuck with double sided stuff, I would recommend leaving the c pillar badges in place.

Fishing line or dental floss used in a sawing motion.

They are inexpensive like £35 a pair of the Bay

Try utube?

I just used dental floss and a hair dryer to loosen the glue a bit. Really easy.

Just remember to make a template of the position of the emblems before taking them off.

I've never seen anyone reuse the one's that are taken off.

The 3m tape is so thin you would never be able to cut it by hand cleanly enough. I got replacements from aliexpress for about £15 from memory. Someone shared a link on here somewhere.

Works well.
