Ok after been driving the car for almost 4 months i decided to 'rebadge' the 'engineer by peugeot' logo to the original/CBU version which is bigger.. another reason is also because i didnt want to repeat the 'Lion' emblems at the rear.. got the large one and another small one.
The original CKD 206 with smaller peugeot wording and repeated small and large lion emblems at he rear.
First of all i used a tape to mark up where the Peugeot word goin to be.. and also to make sure i didnt mess it up when put the logo and ended up the logo is uneven or slanding at one side
I guess the hardest part is how to take out the emblems.. some suggested just pull it out (which might broken it in pieces), some suggested using a screw driver (screw him), and some suggested using a sewing thread (best way, suggested by Xloader/Ethan). So i decided to used the thread /wire just to see which is the best. At first i was using the sewing thread.. which didnt last long.. its snapped at every 1-2mm of cutting thru the double-sided tape under the logo. Then i decided to used the garden wire which is alot easier... but you need to do slowly, as it will eventually snap also. Pull the thread/wire in up down moving (sawing).
And this is what it might ended up.. still got abit of 'leftover' double sided tape here and there.
Ok eveything is out.
To clean out the sticky part of the double-sided tape on the surface, there is actually a few ways.. for me i just using my finger/nail to scrap it off (suggested by Ethan).. and well it easily come off.. then i steal some nail polish remover from my wife to clean off some stubborn part.. just use a cloth dip some (a little amount will do, dont go too crazy) of it and wipe it fast and quickly use a wet cloth to clean it again... and i also actually did some waxing on it too hehe just to make sure the surface is shinny clean.
Check out the size differences of the CBU and CKD Peugeot emblems. Its comes with pre-stick double-sided stikers
Now using the tape as your guide line, slowly stick the Peugeot wording on the surface lightly..so that if you mess up you still can take it out, and when you are satisfied with the position then press it hard.. press on each letter to make sure it stick properly.. and lastly just wipe it off with a cloth... and its done... all new, shinny and large!
Now the left right looks balanced
As for the old emblem.. hmm well i got some plan for it and will do some DIYing too if i got time.. so for now, it just goin to be kept inside the boot.
