Probably guna debadge my car tomorrow, but the only thing putting me off is when I come to sell it around Feb next year, won't it put people off? I'm only guna do a few things to it so that it can be easily returned to standard...
Thoughts?

It might be surprising to some, but I quite happily kept the griffin on mine
albeit the badges are now painted black

Just searched and read about how to do it, one problem is that there's only one hair dryer in the house and it's my Mums....don't think there's any way she'd let me use it

no need to use hair dryer, use hot boiling water

I used a hairdryer first (with the badges on) and then sort of 'cheesewired' the fokkas of with some fishing line.
left nearly none of the sticky stuff on the clam, that came off easy with some elbow grease afterwards

any car modifications are down to personal taste, so whatever you do to your car, some people will like it more for it, others will hate it
