    Default Griffin de-badge tips

    Hello

    I managed to debadge the rear VECTRA, 1.9CDTi, and both ELITE's with the wife's dental floss.....

    Having a bit of trouble with the large rear Griffin .... floss can't get taut enough and it is large.

    Any helpful hints and tips about removal of the Griffin

    Thanks

    Denzo

    Heat the griffon with a hair dryer and use nylon fishing line,its not as fragile as dental floss and does the job in 10secs......
