The UK Hyundai Coupe Club

Can I ask how you removed your badges as I'm looking to remove my "Hyundai Coupe" badge

Warm water and an old blunt credit card was what I used. Once u get under the edge it will just pull off but the more foam you can pull off with the badge saves you the hassle of removing it from the paintwork as the OP has already found out

I found white spirit and a soft cloth very effective at removing the foam

Boiling water melts the glue

Thread a cable tie under a letter and work your way down

Boiling water just trickled over the badge area then? I'm conscious of scratching the paintwork as I take it off which would cause me to have a major breakdown

yeah, be gentle and you won't scratch anything that won't polish out. If your fitting Tuscani badges they are bigger than the 'H' badge anyway

Decent monofilament fishing line works well too, just slide under the badge and use a sawing action. Then petrol* to remove the glue.

Anyone performing this may find there are a couple of pegs on the back of the badge. These need to be worked around carefully, don't be thinking you can just go left to right or you could be there for some time!



* Other solvents are available, but I live dangerously

So put petrol on at night a d use my lighter so I can see......

Lol - would save filling the holes after I 'spose!

dont know how much tht stuff from halfords is but i used something called TIM clean which is meant to clean off old thermal media from CPU's. makes pretty light work of most adhesives while leaving paint alone AAAAND it smells all citrusy just spash some on work it in give it 60 seconds them rub away.

Did on my old gen1 - dunno about newer but it would not surprise me if there was.

yes it does have two pegs

Water, cloth,credit card and polish and lots of elbow grease and save yourself some money and don't expect to be done in ten minutes.

It is all I used and perfect job, but then it was a sunny day and I took my time enjoying the sun.

Ive used vinegar on previous cars comes off a treat no harm to paint

Yeah, just looking at losing the Hyundai Coupe badge - not fussed about the Tuscani badges so will keep the 'H' badges on there

I'm with Dupes on the boiling water!

I removed all Three badges on mine no problem this way. I poured it on a few times and left it for a bit to let it melt the glue which helped. Then used a credit card covered in a cloth, this not only removes the badge but I rubbed the foam off at the same time!

Got the remaining foam off with white spirit and a ruff cloth to start and then T-Cut/Scratch remover. Had/Still have a bit of shadow but have been T-Cutting/polishing this bit every couple of weeks and it's nearly mint now!

Never have liked the way they've put the badges on, just looks a bit one sided! Must agree with the some of the comments above that it's not a 5 minute job!
