I'm thinking your going to better off trying to find a new tailgate in RB rather than paying for a respray? Then again I may be talking out my Harris.

I put money on that someone super glued them back on previously.

Get the boot repainted is your best option.

omg massive fail.

did u heat up the badges if not what the fook was used to glue them down.

can you not put the badges back on and find a touch up pen to go round edges???

They didn't come off in one piece so that option is gone and I also put the new £35 quid badge on the clio side first. So that will be wasted to. I think your right about the super glue seems like that tbh. Any point doing a touch up and trying to polish it in alittle?

Looks like a respray then... Yea well if I can remove the new style badge and get it resprayed and then reattach it. Any idea what to expect to pay for a respray ? Thanks guys

To paint that properly you won't see much change out of £200.

What a gutter!!

get a heat gun to remove your new badge this time though and yeah respray which is gonna be around 150-200 mark i think maybe cheaper.

Only got the car to. And have been throwing money at it since! Only myself to blame for this one...
 
B*gger, always use the string technique for cutting them off!. Saving grace is its RB, probably one of the easiest colours to match to, we would be £150 + VAT if you were a tad more local!......

Please dont on the drive *smart* repair that........you'll end up with a car covered in over spray and probably flaking paint a few years on.

~£30 for a second hand boot.............but finding it in the right colour..........rockinghorse poop.

If it was me, i'd get a GB badge to cover it up for the time being.

Get it painted once the weathers improved.
 
lucky boy, renparts are awesome, mind you have to cut the loom right?, unless i was strapped for £ id be spraying it. £15 to deliver that though and get it there in one piece is highly optimistic lol, corner reinforcers, half roll of bubble wrap, and might have a chance. We had one delivered to us recenty, packed well, still rolled the lip on the lower edge.

Piece of piss - tie some string to the passenger heater connector - and to the lock/wiper connector - pull them out then just tape the string in place
When you want to re-fit just tie the string to the loom and use it to pull the loom back in

Had the boot off mine a few times now for roll cage fitting and interior paint :)
 
might try that aswell, I like the string thing, as the string cuts the glue foam stuff like a saw, anything that trys to lever the badge off could end in tears esp if its been repainted andthe primer not sanded before base coat or some other reason for poor adhesion.

Never heard of this..

Normally just used a card and some hot water
