Looks HOT! Love the rims too. You should get a blackened roof.

Almost de-badged back of my car and one when it was new with too many badges. With the 'S' badge, it would have been just too crowded.

Thanku! I had it earlier. But I removed it to get full coat through 3M.

The de-badged Aspire does looks better than the stock condition. I personally feel that the rear of the Aspire is really crowded and will myself go the debadging route soon.
Just a slight observation. Isn't the 'Aspire' badge too far from the corner? Personally I would like it to be at a little left, maybe where the 'Figo' badge was placed.

Sir, your Creta looks dope and after the removal of those extra badges, it does look sleek. :thumbs up

On a side note, how difficult is it to remove the left over glue from the paint if we plan to do it ourselves? I was planning to use WD-40 to get rid of the glue residue after I take off the badges.

Once the badges were removed, we used the heat gun to loosen out the glue from the surface and used a bit of 100% Iso Propyl Alcohol (IPA) to further loosen the glue & a bit of Abro Bug & Tar remover spray to get rid of the glue from the body surface.

WD-40 didn't work as good as IPA in my case. Maybe in a 'new car', the situation would be different.

Honda City completely debadged, lending a clean and sporty look.

Hey that looks neat. Cool choice of alloys too I must say. I'm sorry I'm awfully late but just stumbled on the thread.

If I may ask - your's seems to be a trim below the XZ/XZA etc (assuming since there is no rear wiper). Yet - you seem to have a very useful rear fog-lamp. Did you install that after-market? How have you wired it? Is it tapped into some existing wiring at the back? Or you have done a a separate wiring harness? If yes, would you mind telling where you have run the wiring for that from towards the engine bay? Thanks!

Yes, my vehicle trim is XT
The wiring is attached to number plate light.

Joined the debadged bandwagon.
Love how clean and macho my mojo loves now :)

A car audio guy put a few badges on the back of our car after an install hoping to impress us I guess.
They looked bad and moreover Our Safari is a 4x2 vx.
So that didn’t make sense..
Here’s a before and after.:OT


Not a debadging by any means,
Just made some space for some teamBHP stickers.
lol:

Here is pic of my debadged Octavia. The debadging was done for a clean PPF install and after checking this clean look I decided to keep it that way

I am a huge fan of de-badged cars.

It is a big thing where i live and almost 80 percent of German cars here are de-badged and most of them have a chrome delete as well. Looks super sexy IMHO.

Sharing a picture of my de-badged ride below. A full chrome delete is in the pipeline.

Never been a fan of the current trend with car names written with huge gap between them, I decided to remove the 'V E N U E' and 'SX' badge and keep the 'Hyundai logo' and the 'Turbo' badge. Heated it first and then removed it with a thread and as it was a new car it wasn't too difficult, but getting the gum off completely without a scratch needs patience.

For quite some time, I had the plans for debadging my ride. But I kept on postponing it due to my laziness.
:D

But, recently when my i10 was parked in town, some miscreants had stolen one of the badges and broken another one into half while removing.
:Frustrati

So, I went ahead and removed the remaining badges and it's residues by following the process mentioned in this thread.

Additionally,
Satisfied with the outcome, I took the plunge and debadged my 7 months old Duster as well.
