Removing and reapplying Carrera emblem

Yes, I have tried the search button. No real success.

My (stock Carrera) came with a deck lid emblem that read Carrera RS. Obviously, its a bit of an embarrassment. Bling, bling.

I need to remove (how?) both the Carrera and the RS emblem and then reapply and center the Carrera emblem (how?). What kind of glue or tape do you use ?

Silly question, but I am afraid of destroying the underlying paint.

Thanks,

Use a hair dryer and dentil floss, heat and use floss under to detach old emblems. It is possible enough glue will remain on old Carrera emblem to reattach it while still warm. If not, our host sells new ones for about $20.00.

Nope, wouldn't want anyone thinking you've got a lightweight sportster when you're tooling around in a flabby pigdog.

A rapid and effective response !

I know, I know. I am secretly envious but make it up with my 130 pound body weight.

Just kidding Markus, and I know you were too.

Maybe after making that bundle on your invention, you can afford both!
