De-badge?

zirc · 03-30-2011, 06:20 PM

What's the best way I can remove the "Murray Motors Import" decal from the back of my car?

Also, you think if I remove the "328i" that makes me look like a "wanna be"?

Blow-dryer and floss. Heat it up slow and let it get kinda warm then take the dental floss to it and it should come off super simple. A simple safe remover for 'goo' and such would work to get the residue off. I use a product called "Krud Kutter" its great stuff. I got mine at home depot but I think like lowe's sells it too. Just spray it into a soft micro fiber towel till its moist to wet in a spot and rub it out. Should be fine. 3M adhesive remover will work as well if you can find it, but not sure how 'paint safe' it would be.

Debadging is a personal call. Ive left mine on because I kind of like it up there.

I debaged mine so it looks like a sleeper.

Right! Your car is such a sleeper. I feel drowsy just thinking about it.

Cool thanks, going to remove the Murray decal for sure..will think about the 328i, need to see some other cars with it removed to compare.

I deleted the 328Xi badge on my trunk. Don't miss it at all. Looks so much cleaner without all the clutter of chrome numbers and letters. Then again, I blacked out my kidney's too because I hate how much chrome comes stock on these cars. So, if you're into the "Bling", think about it before you do it.

Can't stand that Murray glues their badge on the car, I took mine off the week after I got my car.

Bimmer This · 03-31-2011, 09:04 AM

glue? really? that's odd. They probably do that so people don't take them off.

DrPig57 · 03-31-2011, 09:15 AM

Every car I have ever purchased, I would tell to them either pay me for advertising their dealership or take it off. I've yet to be paid, but again no dealship badge on my car.

IN54NITY · 03-31-2011, 09:42 AM

I'm too lazy to de-badge. Blowing drying the car sounds like a lot of work, and sounds wrong too.

+1 I forgot to tell Murray to not drill holes in the bumper (actually, didn't know they would), but no free advertising, at least on the BMW, their license plate frame is on my Jeep.

So do you get free valet parking at Cherry Creek?

forza1976 · 03-31-2011, 01:19 PM

I have that but I have never used it... doesn't it only work for 1 year?

Removing your "328/335" doesn't make your car look cleaner..my .02

forza1976 · 03-31-2011, 01:47 PM

youu must be blind alfred

16M4 · 03-31-2011, 01:51 PM

Ok ok, I admit it. It makes it A LITTLE BIT cleaner. It's just not worth my time to do it (aka I'm too lazy to do it)

nope, as long as you still have the Murray Plate on it, it's always good.
