Best way to do it mate is get some fishing line and slide it behind the badge and grating it off. then to get rid of the glue residue left behind, buy some Auto glym tar remover and graft away until it comes off. It works trust me.

I wish i still had my badges, some **** stain decided to take them of with a screwdriver and snapped one of them grrrrrrr.

Well, I posted a thread the other day regarding this and the way i had done it was; Use a hair dryer to heat the sticker and peel it off with your fingers and residual glue, use the autoglym tar and bug remover as mentioned above.. This does take some time though but probably the safest bet!!!

Hairdryer then prise them off and remove the residue with, wait for it...............'sticky stuff remover' from halfords, in a yellow can near all the shampoo's etc, about £4 a can, one of the only products i've found that does what it says on the tin! Bit of wax after you've finished and jobs a good un!

This is a handy guide. Video - Debadging a WRX or STi


I did mine.



Then fancied a change & put them back on. It made the exhaust swell up though so be careful.

If you have a hawkeye don't remove the oval subaru badge as they have 2 holes behind it. I de-badge mine by heating them up with a hairdryer and using fishing line or strong dental floss and then used sticky stuff remover.

They will fit, but as you say you will need to change the rear bumper.

Thats it.

Hi Shane you want something like the Prodrive one in my de badged picture which I had on mine before I got my Blitz.

I still keep the bung handy for the Blitz but haven't had to use it yet.
