Gold Badges

[GERRY]

Hi all, my baby is in for serious repair to drivers door damage and thought i would get my Gold badges replated. As you know the replacements are very expensive but i have found a company who will replate the whole set for £50. Does anyone know the best way to remove the badges as i do not want to damage the paint work. I will come back to you all after the plating to see if they are worth recommending. This company have done all sorts of award winning bikes, scooters, and cars. The plating available comes in two types, antique and bright, the bright being the same as they use on bath taps etc so should last.

The easiest way is to use a hairdryer,heat around the area to soften the glue,then gently twist and it should come off then clean any excess off with some Car Polish.

dental floss works well for getting the badges off once heated... there was a workshop article around here somewhere..

How about printing the details as mine could do with being re-done too.

What a muppet i am, the company is at the bottom af this page already, it is Kent Metal Finishes. As a new member i'm allowed the first boob. I must admit they did seem very friendly and helpful so here go's.

Anyone know where i can get the sports decals for side windows or did they not put these on the series 2. My car is out of repair now and they have done a fantastic job, anyone needing a good place near Cambridge, Lexus approved, just contact me.
