Its just double sided tape. The issue is; once you remove the badging, there is a very defined outline left by the badge. :down:

It looks like the badges are applied when the paint is still soft, as even heavily cutting back the surface still results in a really obvious ghost on the paintwork. The darker the colour; the worse it is.

Just double sided tape, no pins!

BUT

As mentioned above; the badge outlines stay.

My Axis Autech come from Japan with the tailgate debadged, there were outlines of all the badges like no tomorrow, in addition the phucknut in Japan tried to cut the tailgate to remove outlines of badges and totally phucked up the clear on the entire tailgate.

I got the tailgate resprayed and have not stuck any of the badges on, looks great, no one know what the car is, they just stare and ask questions at the lights.

all you need is some fishing line and a heat source (hairdryer) to remove the badges.

leaving an outline is all dependant on the colour and condition of your paint on the car.

Spot on with the fishing line, a kettle full of hot water poured over the badge also works for heat .:thumbsup:

Trust me; every M35 that I've seen that has had the badges removed from factory paint has been a disaster.

I honestly believe they attach the badges to uncured paint, or something in the adhesive etches the paint; I don't think you can get a satisfactory result without at least rubbing back and redoing the clear.

I agree ^.

I was 'lucky' to have some roll into me almost a year ago. The insurance repair replaced the tailgate skin (& repainted) & they gave me the new badges & templates in case I wanted to put them on later. I don't think I would have debadged it if I could see outlines. Always a silver lining if you look hard enough....

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
