Re-attaching Badges

[mr. kirisaki]

Hey all, I need to reattach a badge back onto my the car... Searched up and most people recommend double sided tape? But doesn't that make the badge easily removable? What's the stuff that holds the stock badges in place? Also, I may want to remove the badge later to attach to another bonnet, so is there any adhesive that is relatively sturdy yet is removable (without damaging the badge)? Cheers.

3m double sided tape or otherwise urethane.

Leave it off.

Leave it off.

Lol can't. It's for the S14, there's little holes on the bonnet when the badge is removed

I have found that if you want to put them on 'PERMANRNTLY' then clean the area and use Mirror adhesion liquid nails.

It is used to stick mirrors to anything and on the back of mirrors there is little chance for anything else to adhere to.

I wanted different badges on my daily driver which unfortunately is a commodore so I bought belt buckles from City beach, ground off the shackle on the back of it with a rotary tool and glued it on with the Mirror Liquid nails. 2 years later they are still on there and are definately not coming off without a hammer and chisel of some sort.

yup liquid nails or max bond- that stuff is great

If you're getting a new bonnet soon, leave it off and plug up the holes. Or drive without a bonnet...

yeh drive without a bonnet!

that wont cause problems..

what if you want to get it off again in the future?

i would never put liquid nails on my paint work.. ever.

double sided tape would have to be the go.

yeh drive without a bonnet!

that wont cause problems..

Sure it wont... I have always wanted to cruise around for a bit without a bonnet, but my car is mostly stock so that wouldnt work. Flaunt wot u have, y not? By for a bit, I mean an hour or something

There's a new product called 3M invisible adhesive gel or something... they look like guey little drops of gel or glue - although they stick on nicely, they actually do not damange your paint work... so yeah... pretty good... go to Autobarn and give them a shot or something.

Cheers,

Go to supercheap, they should stocko double side badge adhesive (double sided tape)... i think its the brand Packmate. anyway, it holds my eyelids on at 160kmph, so it goes alright!

[mr. kirisaki]

Hmm the 3M stuff, have you tried using it spunky?

And yeah I've opted for that double sided badge tape, but was a bit suss about it's durability lol.

Cheers for replies.
