UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hi does anyone have a good way to debadge the back badges for example the 'polo' bit on the rear? or will i need to get it done at a garage somewhere?

Hair dryer and dental floss then a good cleaning just keep the hair dryer moving and when it's warm to the touch push with your finger on the letter to see if it moves... you can tell when the adhesive underneath is warm enough then slide the dental floss underneath... Voila one sexy debadged beast

Cheers mate. So this will definetly not mark my paint work if i do it properly like this?

Hair dryer or hot air gun, used this technique many times and never had an issue

I'm also wanting to do this so I can just leave the GT and bluemotion badges on and remove the polo one. Worried about damaging the paint work tho. I haven't picked the car up yet but was surprised there was no debadge option when buying the car. Do you think the dealer would remove these badges for me?

It really is easy to do yourself. As said, just heat it up and wiggle something behind the badge that won't damage the paintwork (credit card, dental floss, fishing wire etc.) and then just clean off the glue residue.
Take about 5 minutes max.
