Hello all, I'm thinking about debadging my 525. My car is a lease if I do this is it easy to rebadge it if I return it at lease end?

Would anyone notice? Don't think so..

Yes...the emblems are simply attached using double sided tape. Relatively easy to get off...and very easy to stick back on

If it is that simple, I may be tempted.

Suggestion, use a hair dryer high heat. They will come right off. I have done it a couple of time works well. I always put the badge on the folder for the owners manual. You will always know where they are and they can be reused.

I was told that dental floss also works well to remove it.

Usually it?s best to do one number/letter at a time. Use a hair-dryer to get things nice and hot (this will make the adhesive pliable)?then use the dental floss behind the number to pull it loose.

You can then use your finger/thumb to rub the majority of the residue off. Follow up with a small amount of goo-off (or similar) to get the remaining residue off?and you?re set.

Well, the deed is done. One letter at a time with dental tape after the hair dryer treatment was a breeze. But removing the residue was a hassle. Nothing like removing bumper sticker residue. Generous portions of Goo Be Gone with a lot of fingernail finally got it off. Probably 30 minutes of rubbing, soaking, and peeling. Then I put a glaze finish to match the rest of the paint, and can inspect my handy work in the morning.

I personally think cars look so much better debadged. I encourage everyone to do so
