I can't seem to find any guides and I can't seem to get it off unless I wanted to break something.

What r u planing on doing? Reply 0 0 Somthngfrce View Public Profile Send a private message to Somthngfrce Visit Somthngfrce's homepage!

I debadged my car You will need: Blowdryer Gasoline (enough to fill a water bottle) Dental Floss Water What you will do: Blowdry letter by letter, putting the dental floss and jimmy-ing with it (as if your flossing your teeth). Careful though, you will burn your fingers abit, trust me, i know. lol Thats basically how u get it off. Then, to deal with the glue residue, you take a cloth and u damp it with the gasoline and you use some elbow grease. Depending on how much glue, it might take 5 mins or 15mins. Repeat process til the end. Make sure you scrub hard to get rid of all the glue, or you'll be left with siding of your badge, which sucks. You use the water to clean it up at the end or during the scrubbing to see where your at and to clean the surface. Hope it goes well. Its real easy.

I've seen a picture of an s80 on sweedespeed, they took the grille completely out and maybe if I could get the grill out I could get the badge off easier?

Sounds kinda retarded to me....LOL Reply 0 0 air force rascal View Public Profile Send a private message to air force rascal Find all posts by air force rascal Oct 19, 2009 | 02:21 PM Share Share Options #7 imhereftw Thread Starter | Senior Member Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 178 Likes: 0 From: Maryland, USA What holes are you talking about? they're just glued on to the trunk.

BTW, if you manage to take the Volvo badge off the front in the next 5 days and are going to toss it, I am looking for one to change my old Volvo one for the updated one! Let me know if you're just going to toss it......... Reply 0 0 Somthngfrce View Public Profile Send a private message to Somthngfrce Visit Somthngfrce's homepage!

Ya, saw that at the end :/ Edited it though. And ya, its only held on my adhesive, so no painting and bondo work required Reply 0 0 Debadged_S70 View Public Profile Send a private message to Debadged_S70 Find all posts by Debadged_S70 Oct 19, 2009 | 06:51 PM Share Share Options #10 imhereftw Thread Starter | Senior Member Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 178 Likes: 0 From: Maryland, USA Quote: Originally Posted by Somthngfrce Yes, the lettering is held by an adhesive so it should come off!

Let me know if you're just going to toss it......... Doubt I'll toss it, but I'll let you know! So I can't seem to figure out anyway to get my front grille off, with out breaking anything that is. But it seems like it's just sitting in there, I'm going to go over to sweedespeed and pm the guy who took his out completely. I'm sure if I can get the grill out the badge would be easier to remove Reply 0 0 imhereftw View Public Profile Send a private message to imhereftw Find all posts by imhereftw Oct 19, 2009 | 08:30 PM Share Share Options #11 andrei3333 Senior Member Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 452 Likes: 5 From: what are you going to install in its spot after you remove it ? cause youre going to have a round groove left over from where the emblem sits ..

On the S80's the best bet is to change the grill out all together with an egg crate or something else to look clean and consistant.
