Default Decal removal and grill refresh.......

My front grill was getting tired looking so I removed it and "freshened" it up............also removed the rear decals, took a while to get all the glue off but cleaned up nicely....yes I know the rest of the car needs a wash......... :-( ;-)

Robert, which badge did you lose? Mine are in decent shape and if you PM me your address I would be happy to forward them to you......?

PS. I got the glue off using my wife's hair dryer and a plastic razor blade and then nail polish remover, worked REALLY well and did no damage to the paint..

This is what you should be using to remove the old stickers. NEVER use nail polish remover...its full of acetone. You got lucky not destroying your paint.
