Has anyone de-badged their Fabia? On the Mk1, badges on new cars could be removed with a hair-dryer and a piece of fishing line slid behind them. Are there locating holes in the panel?

Lo Mike, yes there are locating lugs on the badges that go into holes on the bodywork.

Hmm thats interesting....on VW's they are just stickers. I've debadged my Golf and no lug holes on that. Guess Skoda do their's differently then.

I think the skoda badge is located by lugs but the fabia and vrs badges aren't so the fishing wire should work fine on them. Otherwise skoda would have to drill more holes in the hatch raising the cost of that part whereas glue on the badges costs bugger all

My Fabia 08 plate estate definitely has holes on the rear hatch and the badge had locating lugs (the large round Skoda badge)! Maybe they vary according to year. It would make sense not to have holes as it's expensive to drill holes as you say. It was a devil of a job to get the badge off.

UPDATE: just had a look at various online Skoda badge stores and some have lugs like mine and some don't. Depends on year it seems and exactly what badge. I'm talking about the large central hatch or rear estate door Skoda badge. I realise now you were asking about them all. The other badges on the back don't have locating lugs and come setup on a template ready for sticking on the door. You are quite right about that pipsyp. Just that central badge might have the lugs though like mine.

Was nosing at the demo vRS at my dealers today, I quite like the idea of removing the vRS and Fabia badges on the boot, can anyone confirm they're just stuck on please? No lug holes to worry about?

aim having a roomster i mite take the badges off the back so i would like to now how to take them aswell thanks pete

The only badge that has pins is the one on the bonnet as far as I know. All the other emblems (Fabia, Htp, Vrs, Sport, etc) are stickies including the one (Skoda logo) at the boot. This is as far as I know regarding my Fabia Sport but I don't believe there any differences with other Fabia or Roomster models.

I have removed mine and only things needed is a hairdryer soap and water to clean the area before hand and a fishline to work it behind the warmed up badge. After that you need to clean thoroughly the left overs of glue and adhesive.

It goes somthing lke this...

Hi everyone, just a small question Why? would you want to debadge, always seems strange that you want to do this, is there a special reason? cheers.

i think the one reason when you washing your car with the sponge it gets in the badge and when you wax your car its the same

so why dont you debadge it less hassele and cleaner looking i mite do it

I usually debadge my cars boot as I think it looks tidier. I know you cannot do much with the Skoda logo but removing the other badges improves the symmetry of the rear end.

I had our MkV Golf badged on delivery at the dealer and it looked so much better for it. Even got a few comments from the staff saying how much better it looked.

I realy don't know why skoda don't offer this as a factory option as both VW and Audi do.

I was in at the dealer the other day and asked to get my vRS debadged on arrival. The salesman said he would ask the service manager if it was possible! Really should be an option.

Will be asking my dealer the same, need it done before they do the LifeShine.

this is mine with the fabia removed

i used heat gun works business card and dodo juice Tarmalade to remove the few and far between glue. i wanted to keep the vrs
