Han's Toyota Corolla T Sport

I eventually got round to debadging the rear of the Corolla the other day.

I removed the Red 'Toyota' badge, the 'Corolla' badge and the 'Tsport' badge.

I think it looks a lot smoother and neater without the badges. Makes the car a bit more of an unknown without them too, as it's not a hugely common car and it looks fairly different from standard I guess removing the badges will keep those less knowledgable on the subject guessing

A quick blast of the hair dryer and a flat head screw driver had them popping off in no time. Using the edge of a credit card to saw off the remaining adhesive glue left on the body work, then a quick polish with some T Cut and the jobs a gooden Thoughts?

cheers woodski <3

I think the previous owner stuck them back on with superglue so no matter how much heat i put on them there is just a load of rock hard nasty residue left on the paintwork

I think its gona be a respray tbh cos i dont want to start getting the chemicals out just for the sake of debadging, its not like my cars got a nasty 1.0L tag on the back,

Ill get it done when i have the reiger front bumper fitted two birds with one stone an all that,

Glad you had a pain free experience though matey

Yeah it's not great. Very abrasive so can damage your paint easily. Far better using something like G3 if you want a cutting compound, followed by a good polish with something that won't leave swirl marks in the paint.
