lol oh i just went and looked btw, you were right duz360 couldnt pull the bloody thing off lol

If you have a small gas torch and some fishing wire it will come off eventually. I'd just heat the badge-up and that should loosen the adhesive up enough for you to be able to get the fishing wire underneath it, and work your way around.

i did it with mine, came off easy. i just sanded it and painted it up black. only prob is there a little indent sorta thing around where it use to be.

just give it a light sand to smooth it all off n clean it up, then wash it with some soapy water n let it dry, then give it about 5 light coats of primer, then paint it with what ever colour you want, just remember to keep each coat light so that it dosent look crap, you can pretty much do as many coats as you want if you keep them light i painted mine a few weeks ago i probably should have let the paint dry for a bit longer before i put it on the car, it was touch dry, but i had onli finished the last coat about 30 mins before i put it on the car Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if you cant be bothered looking how the badge is stuck on, how are you gonna be bothered taking like 100 times longer to paint it? it takes 2 seconds to see how its stuck on lol

well if you cant b bothered to read why would i give a **** i already said i went and looked

is your car on a lean nicksvl? or am i tripping balls? gotta love the bicycle tyres Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha nah it isnt on a lean.. i just went out and checked its prob my dodgy camera work

takes like 5mins to paint it , ill pulled mine off , took badge off , sanded lightly , painted with 2 coats of black and it was fine. you dont need any primer crap, or 5 coats or w/e, you could paint it as good as you want its more then likely gonna fade anyway. but who cares, just take it off and paint it again. and yes your car is on a lean nicksvl, purely for the fact that the fuel tank is more to that side of the car, which means it would have more weight. most cars are like that. i know mine is anyway.

It is very noticeable, prob about half an inch lower on drivers side, its more noticeable at the front however and if jacked up from the rear its still crooked at the front. Damn thing annoys me. Chassis has been checked and is straight, springs replaced. I cant work out why.

ha well mabee my car isnt on such a lean anymore because its allmost empty.. the photo was prob taken when there was some fuel in the tank

lol , full tank you can defently notice the difference. one side down to the rim one side half way down tread...

lol a full tank is what 55kgs.. wont make your car lean a noticable amount lol at everyone..spare tyre should be on the left side anyway to even it up if it made a differance..

so a spare tire weighs 55kg wow never knew that.

dude... your dumb. so the fuel tank is what 100% on the right hand side? it goes through past center allmost to the exhaust.. wheel doesnt have to be 55kgs, tank takes up 3/4 of the width, so to even it up. it would only need be, 18odd kgs, but on the same note, that leaves only 37 kgs on the right hand side... not to mention its spread out over most of the 4 springs... doesnt work that way mate.. needs to be a bit more weight then that to give a car a noticable lean.
