I'm getting my new shoes today, hyper black TSW Thruxton 18" wrapped Toyo T1R, and I'm seriously considering debadging the trunk . . .

Do you think I should or shouldnt?

I had my last A4 debadged whenI had it repainted, soI have never actually done it myself. . . anyone have a good DIY or any tips? I knowit will leave a lot of sticky residue, what shouldI use to remove it without damage to the paint?

THANKS!

Yes debadge it...
look under the DIY for how to do it. its pretty easy just lots of elbow greese

 

Heat it up with a hair dryer and use floss to get them off.. Then use some goo gone to get the residue off. Since its a older car the paint around it will most likely be faded leaving darker paint where the badges were, if so just polish and wax it. IMO dont do it I did mine and the rings just dont look right back there anymore.

 

i took off my A4 and 2.8 quattro emblems and i think it looks sweet

 

I'm a little worried about the paint being faded. . . Apparentley it will wax out but im not too sure about that

 

At first I was worried that I wasnt going to get the fade to go away but you have to just work hard on it. I used Goof off to remove the adhesiveafter after heating up and fish lining it. After that lots of scratch/swirl remover then coats of wax

end result, clean on a 5year old dark car

 

99 and no faded paint. i think it looks a lot better when it is debadged, but not the rings. just the A4 and 1.8t quattro. my friends 02 bmw was not faded either

 

Debadge it. Keep the rings. I worked as a detailer at a dealership and we used a 3M adhesive remover, it was the BEST. I highly recommend it if you can find it. Other than that, follow the other people instructions using a heat gun [or hair dryer] and floss. If the paint is faded a little hand buffing with Mequiers Stratch X and then a layer of polis should take care of it completely.

PLEASE SHOW US PICTURES OF YOUR SHAVED CAR

 

keep the rings. the rest should go
