Guest OXR-747 Guests Posted 14/06/03 02:24 AM Share Posted 14/06/03 02:24 AM Am thinking of removing my badges also, but what I want to know is how much will it cost to have the wing removed?? I imagine it needs to be welded up the bolt holes and resprayed?? Anyone know any $$$ for this??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 9m 10d Gender: Male Posted 14/06/03 02:36 PM Share Posted 14/06/03 02:36 PM Put masking tape carefully around the badge to protect the paintwork. With a 4" angle grinder with a metal grinding blade you carefully grind the badge down untill you get to the sticky adhesive backing. Once you get to this adhesive backing you get some acetone that takes this adhesive off really easy. Last of all peel off the masking tape. Simple. Dont believe all that crap that has been posted before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post this on fordforums and I'm certain somebody with an XT or Futura would be willing to swap boot lids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
