Cheers Finto, good call on the badge the sunstrip will be going as well, il try to make it look so busy

Do you know if the badge is just stuck on? Yeah it will be alot cleaner looking! Im going to remove my dent stciker too

If its like the front badge it's stuck on and has two locating prongs on it so it will leave two little holes you would have to fill or put grommets in

Ah ill leave it so then ill remove the micra and gx signs then

Badges in the back are stuck on, badges on the front have pins, just paint the same colour as the car if you want to hide it.

I have cut the front grill out like a nismo styled one So the rear will just peel off with a bit of heat and thinners to remove the excess glue?

Strange mines is the import boot so maybe different?

Yeah was gonna say the rear badge on mine had two pins aswell.

Not blue but mine in white (pretty much everything colour coded)

Rear end was still a bit high in that pic.

ill have to see how the covers turns out to see if i will do rubstrips,door handles and wing mirrors
de stickered the rear today
from this

to this

 

[solarice]

Yeah whites a lot easier to spray than metallic, but so long as its all prepped properly you shouldn't have any issues with any of it sticking.

All the plastics on mine were acid etched primered just to make sure.

 

[Finto_GX]

As a matter of interest how does it come off? Removed the rubstrips today , just waiting on my toffee wheel off ebay
So plastic prime ,base,clear?

 

[solarice]

The rear boot handle yeah?

You just need to remove the access panel inside the boot (big metal panel held on with plastic screw clips - the screws are probably the hardest bit to remove haha.) once you're inside then its a few nuts (10mm iirc) to undo and it comes away.

Maybe 10 mins to do.

 

[solarice]

Forgot to mention theres also the loom to unplug for the two numberplate lights and a couple of self tapping screws to remove those.

sounds quick and simple shall be done when the paint is bought
