De-Badging

[MartynE]

I was just wondering if anyone on here has de-badge any of the stick on letters on the wings....V8 Biturbo .......I'm not 100% sure I like them on the wings, it's too much, what are your thoughts guys? the rest I like

Loose them all, much easier to keep clean then.
Hairdryer, some fishing line or dental floss, a bit of WD40 to remove any excess glue left behind and then polish and wax to finish

I was wondering what the wings would look like without, I know they are easy to get off, I just didn't want to remove and end up buying again

No fishing line or hairdryer needed .

WD40 and a kettle .

Not a C Class but a W212 I used to own a while ago: -



The offending badges were in the inset swage lines on the front wing, simply removed with a little warmth. The boot lid was done at the same time.

It’s a tough one buddy , in general cars look better debadged , but as you have a V8 I’m not sure , part of me thinks that other little people should be aware that you are driving a V8

Front wing badges are a pet hate of mine. They are just so unnecessary and make the bodywork harder to clean/polish etc.
I would have them taken off if I ever buy a car with them.
Mercedes stick a stupid TURBO 4MATIC on the wings of A/CLA Class AMG models and actually make a point of drawing your attention to it in the brochure like it is something to be proud of.
No Mercedes it absolutely is not!
I dont have any wing badges on my model but had the dealer remove CLA 250 from the bootlid before I picked it up and it looks much neater without.

P.S. I just might be inclined to keep a V8 badge.....would need to think about that in the unlikely event that I ever own one.

Cheers guys......they are coming off, every time I clean it I seem to catch a letter caught with the hand mit or drying cloth

If they know they know, if they don't they will soon find out

I must admit guys it looks fresher without the badges on the wings IMO
