And here it is with no badges and the front one painted black to blend in with the grille

yeah just get a heat gun or hair dryer to melt the glue and once its all off then just get some water and a cloth and rub it all off, thats all i did and came up a treat!

Hey Kris.
What kind of paint did you use for the badge?
Looks smart!

Did you remove the badge first or just paint it whilst still on??

Removed it as it's a hell of a lot easier. Look for a couple of spring clips on the back (easier if you remove the grille first) and pop it off. May need some glue to stick it back on after but mine was fine.

Keep badges ON - if in good condition and not badly faded, or replace/re-paint them if they are.

Only remove badges if you are -

1. Ashamed of what you drive
or
2. A kn*bend trying to pretend your basic trim version is really top-of-the-range...
