Debadging a VW Caddy?

[Andy ap]

I didnt know where to ask this so apologies if its in the wrong place.

My Boss has just got a shiny new VW Caddy (rather nice actually) in metalic black with gunmetal alloys and he wants to debadge it. So before we take the Screwdrivers and scalpel to it we want to be warned of any suprises like stupid plastic clips through the panel to help line the badges up. (dont think wey'll take the actual VW badge off just yet as that probably does have plastic clips).

Cheers

A good trick would be to find a picture of a genuine vw badge, that way you can normally see how they are fixed

The badges are all stuck on, however removing the VW roundel will leave a circular recess, and they look better with the roundel in place IMO

There will be no holes left behind

Heat the badges slightly with a hair dryer/heat gun to soften the glue, slide an old bank card behind the badge and lift it off with your fingers, any remnants of the foam adhesive should pick off, finish the job off by polishing te area where the badges were. Sorted
