Can the dealer de-badge?

[auditek]

Hey folks, I'll be taking delivery of my VRS 230 next month, and I'm contemplating buying the black bonnet/ boot badges, and removing the 'Skoda' and 'Octavia' badges from the boot.Would my dealer be able to do this, so it is done on collection? I know I could ask my dealer, but he's on holiday until the end of the month :-(

I had my boot badges removed before I took delivery, except for the vRS, so I would imagine the answer is yes.

They should be able to do it. If not, I did mine myself with some warm water, dental floss and then just used some label remover to wipe away any residue. Took all of 10 minutes.

I certainly wouldn't trust a dealer to do it.

Im toying with the idea of de-badging or even getting them done in gloss black (Race Blue VRS Estate)

It probably depends on the Dealer (some will, some won't). I've never actually had any dealings with a Skoda Dealer yet, but I'm with Neil on this one, I wouldn't trust them to do it

+1 on this. Having worked in dealerships I certainly wouldn't trust the pdi/valet teams often outsourced who couldn't give a monkeys. Easy enough job to do yourself and do with care, easy to damage the paint removing badges incorrectly.

I've got an image in my head of a belt sander being used to remove the sticky pad residue.

What did you replace them with ?

[Tech1e]

I had a roll of very fine fishing line in my tool box for just that job for when I was asked.
