Hawkeye Rear Subaru Badge

[DavieR]

Hiya Folks just wondering if someone can tell me if the rear subaru badge on a hawkeye is just stuck on like the front one (grill) or is it bolted on

Thanks Davie

got a feeling it has 2 locating pins but is glued on?

It definitely has 2 pins as I was going to replace the SUBARU lettering with the Hawkeye badge but couldn't be ar$ed cutting the pins off and filing them down for a flush fit.

thanks for the replies..

i had a look under the boot lid and noticed 2 bolts, i take it that these are holding the rear badge on

awe well i will just have to settle with painting the front one for now

cheers again

I was going to paint the front one but when I took it off it look like a sealed badge and I couldn't separate it. Let me know how you get on.

i've painted my front badge with a saltire background (i will try and get pics up asap)

on my badge (hawkeye) once you take badge off and remove the double sided tape which held it on the badge should fall out of the chrome effect surround just sand back off the badge with some fine wet n dry paper. it will remove the paint and end up clear. someone posted this topic not long ago try doing a search as it had a guide as what to do

cheers

The rear badge is held on by a type of double sided foam tape, to remove it I ran some fishing line under the badge to try and cut the tape, then heated it with a hair drier whilst gently easing it off, the pins are for locating it, they don’t fasten it on.
