    Do all the kiwi owners know it is very easy to remove LEGNUM off the tail gate of the car. In my opinion it tidies up the back end and stops people asking you what the heck is a LEGNUM.
    The stickers just peal off and you just polish off the residue.

    Or you just get yourself the facelift model which has the red strip running all the way across... Looks much better in my opinion

    Cool

    Yeah, ok I will go and buy an update, just for you!!
    Methinks de-badging is somewhat cheaper. I have no badges on mine at all. Keep those revenue gathering cops guessing what it is!
    One of those tasty pewter Ralliart badges would be nice 'tho.

    Any chance of a pic of a debadged Legnum ? I've been considering debadging mine but was worried that it would look a little bare..

    You can use a bit of string to act like a saw. You move it backwrds and forwards pulling the string away from the paint work.

    Mr Ultra, I used a plastic spatula, the kind you use with non stick cookware. NO scratches at all, then plenty of polish. For a while in the right light you can barely see where the badged where but it disapears. I also had badges on the front guards and removed these in the same way.

    Looks similar to mine, but without the roof rails. I like the clean roof line , but imagine the hassle removing the rails and getting the car tidied up...
    Definitely looks mint without the badges.

    I like VR-4

    I would never want to debadge it.

    It reminds me of a BMW 318i with their badge removed, so you think it is something bigger. Also if you had an M3 would you remove the badge so it looks less than what it is.
