Set about the task of removing my grille for colour coding today, had some trouble getting the badge off and so decided to use a heat gun to warm it up and loosen the tape on the back.

Discovered that the plastic under the chrome coating has a very low melting point and essentially "boil in the bagged" the grille and totall buggered it :(

Anyone got a FL chrome surround they want to sell me?

I was going to put in a sarcastic reply.... Then I thought nah I'd probably have done same.

Good luck with the grill

Thing is, the badge is also made of plastic and that had the direct heat applied and didn't melt, the plastic inside the grille itself is way softer :(

mine fell of when i shut the bonnet one day

I used a heat gun all over my grille to wrap it in vinyl. Not once melted it in the slightest
