Yeah it will mate
Use fishing wire to cut through the gunk
the use bug and tar remover to soften the goo
the give it a quick polish
take your time FFS!

tuff, when i took mine off and cleaned it all up...there is actually marks in the paint from where they were.......can i borrow your magic hands to ge them out :D

Also be aware that in all likelihood the paint underneath will be a lot less faded than that around it, so it may look obvious. In which case, rebadge with some chrome TJ badges! :D

my paint seems to match up ok. i gave it a polish aswell, but there is still the outline of the old badge.

I used a knife to lever the badges off... then a paint scraper for some of the glue... then some nail polish remover for the gunk and then washed it all off, polish etc.

No scratches :D Probably a good thing I was getting the boot repainted though :bowrofl:

i used a hair dryer to heat it up gently and just peeled everything off easy as that :D

well i took my badges of and put a chrome badge on top of where i took the old one of, yet i still can see some marks where it used to be, i polished it, and tried scrubbing, nothin happens.

Your badges weren't 15 years old dude :P

Unless you're talking about your first gen :redface:

Did it this way to my car only a few weeks ago. HIGHLY reccomended! heating up the glue not only makes the badge come off easier, but I only had to wipe the glue/tape off! It was so much easier!
I did my Magna Tuffy's way, still worked but I've found heating it up is ALOT easier!

Edit - Lucifer, we heated up the badges on my mates 87' Vector, and the badges came off ALOT easier. So it works on both newer and older badges.;)

Did i? why did i say that? didnt you say your boot was knackered or something?

Little bit of paint had come off under the badge I believe..
