id like to remove the badge on the back of my 200te but dont want to fill any holes, does anyone know if theyre stuck on or riveted?

you need the following...hairdryer and preferably a plastic ice scraper. heat the badge gently and it loosens the glue...gently prise off the badge. job done.

it has been known for scratches and holes in paintwork to be hidden by badges....but you should be okay.

wash the car...good as new.

its the original chrome 200te badge! is it the same principal?

 

[SLinKyjoe]

ah...good point. maybes not...is it just the silver 3 pointed star or is it the full blown badge with the laurel wreath round it?

I was thinking about the name badges...

you can often brake the 3 pointed star when you follow the above procedure as it can be brittle.....the badge type with laurel wreath over i am unsure..so we need someone who has done this to tell us....why you taking it off anyway?

 

[marshie001]

no im leaving the 3 pointed star one i just want the one which says 200te off,the chrome writing one!

im removing it because i want to put an amg badge in its place with a big 'turbo' sticker lol
no i just want it off so no one knows what size my engine is!

 

[SLinKyjoe]

top stuff. as above...and off you go...

they do stick well so persevere...

what would be better than an AMG Turbo sticker would be an WRX STi Type UK pink sticker from a subaru. That will confuse the Chav's and Chav'ess. Or maybes a Boxster S. that would really go down a treat.

dont forget to get some black window tint and fit it yourself really badly so you get big huge air bubbles in the film. Oh, and run out 3 quarters of the way round and do the front near side with Blue. Those nice blue LED's on your wiper arms go down a treat too. its illegal to have moving lights on your car but they are fixed to the wiper so they dont move. the wiper does tho...that gets the police interested.

i sometimes think running around on a space saver helps too.....




ps. I have been in Coventry all week and this is my recouperation therapy.

PPs. if that girl who suggested i meet her in Rainbow after we did Lloyds Bar reads this...where is it?

Why would you wanna fake it that you have an AMG Turbo when in reality your only ruining an original authentic 200te? That is, if the car itself has not already been transformed into christmas tree on wheels.

Don't get why people do that...

All we have to do is look at your exhaust and we will know!

Who cares what size your engine is ......
