When I bought my 5dr Stilo Abarth it had one of the rear hatch badges changed to something different. I didn't even notice at the time. On the right hand side of the hatch I have a silver text badge reading STILO and below that an Abarth shield badge.
On the left side of the hatch I have a yellow Abarth text badge with a small red scorpian to the left of the text. This badge has been added in place of the FIAT badge.

The problem is, this badge has suffered from sun damage, the clear coat has hazed very badly and the dmaged goes throughout. I've tried cutting compund on it, and polish, and plastic renovator. It is stuffed.

So, long story, I'm down to a choice of remove it, in which case, how?

Or replace it, in which case where can I get one? Flea bay have lots of Abartn badges, but they are either shield shaped, or have FIAT as part of the badge, I just want something like I have already.

It is yellow background, small rectangle shaped, has a red scorpian, then Abarth in upper case black text. Thats it, simple and attractive.

Any help glady accepted.

GENUINE FIAT, ABARTH BADGE STILO ABARTH (NEW) on eBay (end time 12-Dec-09 18:49:24 GMT)

if their stuck on with the sticky black pads then they are quite easy to remove.

I removed mine by using hot/boiling water to soften the glue and then some dental floss to drag down behind the badge to cut throught the pads, then just use some T-cut or whatever to remove the sticky residue on the car.

some people have used cutting compound or tar remove instead of hot warter and an old creit card instead of the dental floss.

good luck

Thanks for the advice on removal, on the E-Bay link, thats the badge I already have under the Stilo badge to the right of the boot hatch. The other one is not a standard FIAT part, it is a little Abarth shield on a yellow background, then the word ABARTH in black on the same yellow background. Looks a bit like this:

$ABARTH

With the $ being the Abarth shield.

The standard ones are easy to find and I can see how it is quite possible to fall off ones chair laughing if you can't find one of the simple Abarth shields, but I cannot find anything similar to the one on my car on tinterweb.

The badge is held on with black tape, so I will look at pulling it off next weekend with lots of hot water, and maybe a hair dryer!

May go for one of these instead of a direct replacement

I've decided to just remove the old worn looking badge for now, my method which worked a treat, I cleaned the car, then yanked the badge off with pure brute force leaving the whole of the black sticky pad on the car.

Then I sawed of the black pad with the edge of an old credit card which left the black sticky backing on the car and the pad on my credit card.

Then I sprayed a rag and the black sticky mess with carb cleaner and gave it a good rub. It came off pretty well, it left a shiny bit where the badge had been and then a dull square around it.

I rubbed the area with plenty of T-Cut Scratch remover which got rid of the dull square outline, by dulling the whole area, then I polished it up using a bit of car polish, 2 coats of that and you can't tell the badge was ever there. Magic.

PS - Carb cleaner rocks as a solvent. I've used it for years to shift tar and other sticky goo off of my paintwork. It has been safe as houses and a lot cheaper than dedicated tar and bug splat remover.

Smell good too:)
