This has probably been covered before but would appreciate some advice re de-badging. Looking to remove the WRX from the boot of my imposter and would appreciate any advice on how to do this without foooking the paintwork up?
Please type slowly as I can't read very fast

Heat the badge up with a hair dryer or heat gun on its lowest setting then using dental floss or fishing line (or something similar) use a sawing like motion to cut through the adhesive on the back of the badge until it comes off.
You'll be left with a small amount of adhesive on the paint so use a tar and glue remover to take it off,don't polish it off though like some muppets tell you to do as it'll just make a mess of your paint!
Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...

The WR1 be safe in the knowledge that, short of strapping yourself to an Acme rocket, there's no quicker way to get from A to B.
