Another Gallardo buying question

[madmedman]

Guys how do I remove this? I am worried about damaging the paint. And it seems to be under the ppf
And it has a death grip from my initial attempts to peel it off.

Heat it up?

Thanks. I will try with a hair dryer. I would need to make a badged style hole in the ppf then. Would it damage the rest of ppf?

If it’s got ppf over it, I’d be tempted to leave it, otherwise you’ll probably end up needing to sacrifice that area of film, or redoing that ppf section

Thank you. That's my worry as I don't want to remove the ppf without which it's not possible to remove the badge. It doesn't look as bad as I imagine a black car would.

Your car looks fab and I honestly think you are on diminishing returns with this one. If you can live with it, I would. No car is absolutely perfect so enjoy what you have, all IMHO of course!

Yea, I am a bit hesitant now to touch it as I think there would still be an outline fairly visible and I am still absolutely on edge about everything related to his car, dont want to break anything.

id find a local ppf specialist and have them remove and redo that wing - badge

The ppf is now dark around some of the edges, i am thinking whether to do it some bits again by a specialist, e.g the wing. I can clearly see the film on the side mirrors now and am itching to remove it.

btw, big fan of your tutorials on LT forums. Fills me with confidence to work on my own car.
