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....

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
