Whats the best way to change the ford badges to nissan ones.
Is the back one just stuck on?
The front is moulded in might be a paint ova job?
Any suggestions?
Gotta change em quick cos my mates will hang crap on me flat out for owning a ford.

I have a friend rebadging his Zook as a drover, because he's a Holden fanatic.
Problem is, it's the wrong model of Zook, it's the widebody, which I'm pretty sure Holden never borrowed. So to me it just makes him look wannabe.

Anyway, try grabbing some badges from wreckers.
Buy some "Nissan" windscreen stickers.
Grab some cute girly sticker or whatever for the ones you'll have to paint over.
Park it in the "wrong kind of area" in some metropolitan city, and if it's still there in the morning, half the badges won't be.

They are just stuck on, first thing I did when I bought mine was to rip the Ford badges off. Leave it in the sun for an hour or so before you do, makes the glue easier to get off.

The one on the grill is just clipped on over the fins.

Its just double sided tape mate.

I think your front is clipped on and the rear will be double sided tape. Get a hair dryer, warm it up, get a bog applicator or similar and slide it under.

The left over residue can be cleaned up by either warming it up and rolling it off, or softening it with prepsol and gently taking it off that way.

If all else fails you can buy a "caramel wheel". its a yellow rubber tool that fits into any drill. slow rpm's take everything off including eurathane and sikka flex etc.....

Hope that helps.

Hey buddy if your mate's new anything they would know it's not a Ford as they did not build this vehicle, but at the end of the day you have to live with the choice you have made in buying the Car.

Also l don't think l seen anybody changing toyota lexen badges to commodore l think you should wear them proud and it's always good to see a Ford towing out Toyota's anyway....

Cheers Chris
