Hi guys,

I've been considering removing the "Octavia" and "vRS" badges from the back of my car to make it into a bit of a sleeper

Anyone done this?

Also peoples thoughts and opinions!

Thanks!

I am a fan of de-badged rears so I say go for it

You can use some hot/warm water and fishing wire... or dental floss but this tends to break fairly often!! (tried it before!!)

But at the end of the day it is up to you

Not an Octavia but a chap that bought a Superb 3.6 V6 off me had me debadge it and it looked a lot nicer without all the shiney bits on there.

I'd say go for it.

Thanks guys

I have a general habit of making a pigs ear of things so I may get a family friend who owns a body shop to do it for me!

Aye debadge ftw

I used a hairdrier and an old plasic blockbuster card (any card will do)

Works a charm

virs badge is off to now though

Aaaaah brings back memories of my old Fabia

Looks smart as a dart that car mate

Did you just use T-cut or similar to get the residue off afterwards?

took the 'ocatavia' off mine but left the 'vRS' - the badge is subtle and easy to clean around

i always debadge - prefer the clean look

don't need t cut... just soapy water or maybe some solvent if needed

my octavia badge was off on the day i got the car - took 10 seconds with some dental floss - just use a "sawing" motion - dead easy..

Dental floss - sawing action behind all letters - then i used my fingers to pick off the black sticky stuff and then some AG super resin polish. I would imagine Autosmart Tardis Tar Remover, white spirit or lighter fluid would also be good.

T cut would not be needed as the paint is okay underneath, you dont want to take away layers of lacquer/paint.

thats a job for me on day 1 , just keeping the VRS badge.

that Fabia looks great, nice vid

Here is mine. I think it looks better without the badges

Looks terrible without the Skoda badges IMO. Removing the Octavia / vRS badge is fine, but the Skoda badges is a step way to far.

Yeah that looks great

Think I will be doing this over the weekend!

go for it think it looks alot "tidier" without the the octy and vrs badges

I lost the Octavia badge & kept the vRS one. Very pleased with the look now.

Leave the Skoda badges!

My badges stay on....naked ass on cars looks awful...

I have the same set up on my car and like the look, the VRS badge is small and subtle enough that it's worth leaving on:
