jcerecke 2 Report post Posted March 15, 2008 Hi all, just an introduction. My names Josh, I'm 20yo and from CHCH. About 4 months ago I bought my first car. Wanted something cool, so I got this: It's done 96,000miles which if I remember correctly is about 160,000km. So far I've replaced the ignition system, and a couple of vacuum hoses. And I've put a new sound system in. Next up is a small bit of rust around the lefthand taillights. Also thinking about getting rid of the lightwipers. Anyway, thats me and my car.

jcerecke 2 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 debadge that ho Yeah, thats really annoying me. Do you think there will be much of a difference in paint fade? Whats the best way of unsticking it? I was thinking heatgun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cale 36 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) Welcome Josh, great to see another e30er. Should be able to run a blade along behind the badge, but right behind the badge, not against the paint! Or some teeth floss/fishing line, then use adhesive remover/cutting compound/goo gone to remove ahesive? Edited March 16, 2008 by Quailboy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark 178 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Welcome along mate! Nice tidy looking 320i... I remember seeing it on Trademe oh I don't know... about 4 months ago I guess!! Definitely remove that M Badge, a can of adhesive/wax remover from Supercheap will do the trick, then slide some dental floss behind the badge to remove it. Also, your fogs don't look like they're OEM.... can you flush mount them or find some genuine ones instead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haha sounds like its bothering you quite a bit Edit - I just scrolled up and had a look at the fogs, I do agree flush mounted ones will look so much better, but hey I cant judge I dont even have fog lights Edited March 16, 2008 by RJS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't actually looked into it. Thats lower down the priority list I think. Btw, they're just driving lights, not fogs. And when I was talking about debadging, I was meaning the ///M only.
