Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - TUFFKNUX - 13:th-Feb-2015 Does anyone know if the rear Griffin Emblem badge is stuck on or clipped on? I really want to remove it. Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - tucpal - 13:th-Feb-2015 it is stuck on with 3m tape but there is also two tabs on the griffin so if you remove the badge there will be two tiny holes on the boot. Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - TUFFKNUX - 13:th-Feb-2015 Are they very noticeable or will they have to be filled etc? Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - tucpal - 13:th-Feb-2015 filled as they stand out other option is to do the background black but this only works on light color cars Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - TUFFKNUX - 13:th-Feb-2015 My car is technical grey so it wouldn't make any difference. I've been told to use plasti dip to spray it. Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - tucpal - 13:th-Feb-2015 you can do PlastiDip is fine but pealing the inlay bits out is not that easy. Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - tucpal - 13:th-Feb-2015 [MENTION=52]Dicko[/MENTION] did his griffin black sure he Plastidip or wrap it. Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - TUFFKNUX - 13:th-Feb-2015 Could I not remove it, respray it and then put it back on? Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - tucpal - 13:th-Feb-2015 Yes but you will need sum new 3m tape to stick it back on but if you do remove it I recommend wrapping it for a better finish Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - TUFFKNUX - 13:th-Feb-2015 I may just take it to the body shop for them to do. Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - tucpal - 13:th-Feb-2015 You can buy a new one from eBay etc then spray or wrap the new one that way you have the tape already on the back just heat the old griffin with a hair drier and use an old credit card to get it off then remove the old tape that will be left over on the car and the griffin with silicone remover or tar remover RE: Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - bhalay207 - 5:th-Apr-2015 How did you do your background Tucpal? RE: Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - tucpal - 5:th-Apr-2015 i made a template from an old badge i had and then cut it out and then used the stencil on some gloss black wrap RE: Rear Griffin Emblem Removal - SI SRI - 5:th-Apr-2015 To undo the tabs to take badge off how do you that? Is it the case of taking plastic of boot door inside?
