Griffin de-badge tips

[denzo]

Hello

I managed to debadge the rear VECTRA, 1.9CDTi, and both ELITE's with the wife's dental floss.....

Having a bit of trouble with the large rear Griffin .... floss can't get taut enough and it is large.

Any helpful hints and tips about removal of the Griffin

Thanks

Denzo

Heat the griffon with a hair dryer and use nylon fishing line,its not as fragile as dental floss and does the job in 10secs......

Great minds think alike CB!

I used my nectar card, cleaning off the **** which is left behind is the hard bit !

[cb500t]

Use lighter fuel.........

or tar and glue remover

does the rear griffen have 2 retaining lugs behind it?

[Bainie]

No lugs behind it .. Just stuck on ...

I did it as above -but the fishing line sounds a good idea. :)

AJA mentioned something about 'grass soap' to remove the sticky after mess (??? dirty minds!!!) from behind the badges - anyone know what this is and where i can get it from?

[big phil]

just polish it off JCB , It'd be just as easy !! ;)

Park it facing the sun on a nice day and it will come off with your fingernails. :D

I don`t want my fingernails off though *lol*

i've polished and rubbed with fingernails etc. but in certain light you can just see the outlnie of the letters - ii'll give it a go with some of that chrome polish stuff...

boiling water over the badge slide a old credit card slid behind then nail varnish remover and a bit of elbow grease gets rid off the sticky then some polish to finish it off.job done

Gonna give mine ago today if the weather holds out..not lookin forward to it though..paint will probably come off with it..lol

[Dwabo]

De-Badging - now I'm a Veccy owner, I see why we have to De-Badge, it's to hide the embarrassment of someone seeing us with our beloved motors :eek: :D


I knew I should have gone for the 'Scooby' :D
