hi

you all know that in our e9´s, in the lateral "C"pillars an emblem is located, as:

but in my car, when repainted, those emblems were missing, and an alternative solution was placed,this seems to be an autoadhesived emblem of the nineties:

yes I agree, it does not fit at all, so after some mayor works I am considering the work of dissasembling it, but: without destroying the paint !

the question of course is that I do not know in which condition is the paint under that emblem now

does anyone know a good method to remove the emblem without damaging the paint ?

p.s.: I am thinking of a hot air gun, but I feel afraid of how it will affect the paint
 
hurray for dental floss (really a fishing string) + hot air gun at 60ºC

see the sequence:

thanks for your help

Now find the guy that glued the emblem and use the fishing line and hot gun on him.
 
my dear friend,
you are always as sharp as a razor´s blade
I like your sytle
regards

My first 2002 came with "vinyl sticker" roundels in the hood and trunk. I was thinking we may be victims of the same perpetrator...
