Jan 2011 at 00:21 debadging involves using a hot air gun to melt the glue backing the badges but i thinkg the main vauxhall badge maybe pinned which in that case you would be left with a pair of holes which i geuss you could just put grommets in.

Maybe he doesnt give a **** what people think.

As the main reason for debadging is to hide a low spec model I think having the word Elite and the 3.0 badge gives a tiny bit of satisfacation.

It isn't like the car is plastered in words, and also the worst looking bit is the V grill.
