Title: How to remove a "mirafiori Sport" badge? Post by: Robert on November 01, 2010, 02:47:35 PM Any idea how the "mirafiori Sport" badge is fixed to the tail light? I sourced a rear light with rusted fixing screws but with a very nice badge and want to put the badge on my car (because mine is not that beautiful), but I do not want to destroy the badge while trying to remove it. Is it glued to the tail light?

Post by: kev131 on November 01, 2010, 02:54:59 PM Just slide a flat head screw driver under it and lever it off gently - Swap sides progressively until it is out far enough to pull away. The badge is quite tough so you won't damage it easily although I have seen some with the lugs broken off...so be sure not to put too much angle on one side over the other....in other words try to keep it as close to parrallel to the light as possible ...at all times. :)

The new one, from the spare taillight, however, was glued to the light's body; but it came off without damage. Interesting: the old one seems to be mounted on a carrier plate which has lugs; the new one has no carrier plate and therefore no lugs. I will have to glue it on, I suppose. See the difference between old (top) and new one (bottom) here:
