My FIAT badges on the back and bonnett have faded to a really nasty light blue colour (as is the case with all FIATS from 1996!) and I want to get them off.

1) How do I do this without damaging the body work?

2) Will they leave any holes or are they just stuck on? Will there be noticeable marks on the paint once taken off?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

The one on the back is just stuck on. You can get it off by using a hair dryer to heat up the glue and just pull it off leaving no holes. I think hot water also works.

The front isnt as easy to remove and i think it leaves two hole. Somebody will confirm this?

Back badge is stuck on. Careful use of a hairdrier and some nylon thread and they will come off easy.

The front badge is bolted on.

Cheers guys - will take off the back badge asap then!!

It will look odd if you take the front one off because it is recessed. Best order a fresh one and replace it.

Obviously there is the expensive way which looks better that involves filling/spraying

I painted the blue stripes in my front badge vinci grey, as the car, and it looks alot better than the faded blue. Does the trick until I get it completly removed.

its only about £8 for a new front badge from fiat, and takes 2 mins to fit, makes a massive difference

I just had my front badge removed and it looks so good For the price of a new badge its a cheap way to improve on looks but if your bonnet is badly stone chipped as mine was then getting this done at the same time is a no-brainer.
