De-badge

I've put a chrome grille on my Java Black motor and D4 rear lights with clear indicator repeaters. Can anyone tell me the best way to de-badge the back without damaging the paint? And what's the coolest-looking re-badge on Java Black?

Thanks

Gently heat the badges with a hairdryer to soften the glue, gently prise off with an old bank/credit card, or fishing wire.

The residue and foam that is left over can be removed with some tar + glue remover, and some elbow grease Thumbs Up My D3 Build Thread

Thanks. The hair dryer will be wielded ASAP.

Any thoughts on the best look for re-badging with something? Maybe just standard lettering but in chrome instead of grey

Where did you get your D4 rear lights from?

I used a heat gun on low heat mode and picked the letters off with my fingernail. I heated the foam stuff left behind and picked that off too. I finished off with a quick polish with metallic paint T Cut. It took no more than a minute per letter. Now it says Discovery V6 XS. I might remove more letters each week just for the hell of it.

Nickj - contact Nick at Yeovil. He'll give you a good price
