#1: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 3:49 am ---- Hi I am looking to debadge my front grill on my peygeot , I have 2 spare grills and looking to debadge, just wondering what's the best way to debadge the grill and how, also I have Ben told I can fill the hole using body filler and what's the best filler to use. Thanks
#2: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:00 am ---- I would cut a piece from the other grille and plastic weld it in place of the badge. Failing that some fibreglass behind should hold it. You would then need to filler the gaps and smooth it off.
The bonnet recess would need to be welded up and lightly skimmed with filler. If you just fill it with filler it will crack and drop off. Try a search a few people have debadged their grilles.
#3: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:02 am ---- I have heard of welding but how is this done
#4: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:05 am ---- Forgot to mention I have looked up debadging grill a lot and not find hardly any information. Also I did try to attempt to fill the hole on grill, did a great job until the sides came aprt from filler, so now I have just knocked out the filler out of the grill and looking to start again
#5: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:34 am ---- Have you left the badge in place and filled it over? I was thinking you meant to make a grille like this item.mobileweb.ebay.co...8371749453
If you are unsure how to weld you would need to get a bodyshop to do it.
#6: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 4:39 am ---- My grill is standard I have taken the badge of them and that's all, but I want it to look like that, I have been folded that they don't look clever then the ones that have been filled in
#7: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 5:06 am ---- If you have two grilles you need to cut a piece from the spare grille that will fit between the two halves where your badge used to be. It then needs plastic welding together. I think this can be done using a soldering iron. It basically means you need to melt it together. You will then need to skim over it with a light covering of filler. And sand it back smooth.

#9: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 5:22 am ---- That's my plan for this weekend too. Lol. Gotta get some bits for my sisters focus so I'm on the lookout for a spare grille for me to play with.
#10: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 5:37 am ---- So if you trying to debadge grill would you make a step by step instruction I can go on from
#11: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 6:02 am ---- Ok il make a how to when I do mine. It may take a while to get my grille made and all online tho as I'm busy with work etc. so don't have much time in the evenings.
#12: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 6:05 am ---- Ok thanks for that, would it not just be easy filling the whole with body filler, overlaping it slightly on eachside then smoothing it out
#13: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 6:26 am ---- If you fill too big hole with body filler it will just crack. Filler is only for filling minor blemishes and dents.

Don't want much do you?? Just but one, it'll be cheaper than buying all the stuff anyway.
#15: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: 206boyracer, Location: Sunny CornwallPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 7:50 am ---- Was thinking of making a how to anyway so it's the kick in the backside i needed. Lol. won't be online for over a month I doubt tho.
#16: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 8:49 am ---- you need to put a thread through with nuts where the badge was to stop either side flexing and cracking the filler
#17: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:34 pm ---- where abouts do you put the thread, i dont know which part you mean
#18: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Wed Jul 11, 2012 1:38 pm ---- usher just looking at your pictures and your grill does look awsome, thats why i want mine doing, i had a pug 306 and had that debadge but that was alot easy as this gril comes in two parts
#19: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 5:23 am ---- the standard grill should split in 2parts, remove the badge and where the badge used to be you need the thread
black is the thread and white is the nuts behind the grill

#21: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 6:05 am ---- i did mine my self as i didnt like the gaps on the ecosse one or others i liked the origional look
#22: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 7:37 am ---- usher so do i drill a little hole on each side of the grill and feed a thread through, what can of thread do i use and how do the nuts works, if i do it like that then can i fill the hole in with filler?
#23: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 8:57 am ---- yeah holes either side of the badge gap threat or long bolt with a nut just tighten it by hand then nip with a spanner to stop if flexing, you will need to build it up with fibrewglass or expandy foam then cut it down, filler is for skimming as it will crack or sag eventually
#24: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 9:08 am ---- This is similar to what I'm doing when I get a cheap front grill.
#25: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 9:23 am ---- Usher thanks again for that info again, can I use wynn's loctite plastic padding filler, is that expand foam any good, I was gonna try Davids p40 or p38 fibre glass filler. In your opinion what do you recommend I use. Thanks again
#26: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 9:30 am ---- Or do I use fibre glass sheets
#27: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 10:25 am ---- fibre glass filler would be easier i used fibre glass sheets and it was messy. foam was if you had some to save money
#28: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: nas123, Location: oldhamPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 11:03 am ---- [quote="spike_202"]This is similar to what I'm doing when I get a cheap front grill.
You can get cheap grills from scrapyards
#29: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: usher, Location: northallertonPosted: Thu Jul 12, 2012 11:53 am ---- and ebay think i paid 30quid for mine bnib, it is a copy as the grill bit under the bonnet is atached and its one unit but my origional one got damaged so couldnt use it
#30: Re: how to debadge front grill Author: bezford, Location: darlingtonPosted: Tue Dec 18, 2012 5:31 pm ---- I see people now fill in bonnet gap with the plastic grill/trim extending up rather than welding and filling the bonnet lip...wouldnt cutting polystyrene into shape and using sikaflex or similar auto filler that wont melt polysty...into place and cutting it to size give a closer harder surface to apply filler to ...and will offer more support staying in place so filler wouldnt get bent right in as poly will stop it from flexing so much...
