The Don Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Sorry for the banal question... just got a rear 'Caterham 7' badge and wonder what the best method of sticking it to the paint is? Many thanks, Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Howard, You can get very thin double side adhesive tape. I can point you to a manufacturer but you only need 3" so I'm a bit lost on saying where you can get it. If I had some I'd pop a bit in the post, but alas my cupboard is bare.

Frying Pan Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Carpet tape? Not sure how it will cope with rain though 😳 The 'real' stuff is here, but not sure if you'll wangle a sample out of them... Guy See some pictures of the build here. 10000 miles completed!

Dickie Normuss Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 DIY shops sell outdoor double sided foam, works a treat ric's fun to be found here Seek forgiveness, not permission.

The_ASH Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Halford's do some double sided stuff for number plates which is nice and thin. Ashley Webster. Accellerating towards the horizon at an ever increasing rate of knots..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apothecary Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I actually want to go the other way ... Currently have the badge on the rear (previous owner ordered after specing the car from new) so i do not know what its fixed on with. Could try the hair dryer method first I suppose but any thoughts on what else other than petrol etc 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesElliott Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Warm with a hairdryer and then use your finger nails/a piece of fishing wire or similar behind the badge to get it off.
