Debadged the A3

[ptr]

I decided to debadge the A3 today and give her a good clean.

That paint has been on there since 1999 so even after 11 years there wasnt much difference in the paint underneath, good news for anyone planning to debadge!

I used the hairdryer and fishing line method, then scraped off the remaining adhesive before using t-cut to blend in the uncovered paint. Then gave her a good clean and polish.

First letter removed... dear God that's a lot of crap under there

Scraped off all the glue and was left with this, used Muc-Off to clean it up.

Then t-cut it, washed and polish... you cant tell the letters were ever there

I'm happy with how it turned out, looks a lot smoother and cleaner without the badges

Nice job dude... was a little worried that you used t cut but if its done the job then good stuff.... any other plans?..

No major plans due to being a student and funds being tight, got some pressed plates from dubmeister on order and considering lowering on cheap eBay JOMs coilovers but otherwise keeping it standard.

I was planning to do the grill surround in black but not sure if it will suit this colour
