Just got an xj8 and I want to put new badges on the boot

Does anyone know how I go about getting the old ones off and new ones on?

Old badges can be removed by using fishing wire or dental floss which can be used between the badge and the bodywork with damaging the paint work. Any old glue can be removed using autosmart tardis or autoglym tar/gle remover,

You may need to give the paint work a light polish up before refitting the new badges just to freshen up the finish up

Hi Maxbrod,

You could use a gentle heat gun or similar in an attempt to soften the glue and help its removal.

Don't for get to post some pictures of the job during and after.

Best regards,

Dave
