    For some reason, I cannot find a .edu on how to remove an old damaged hood badge and put a new one on. I just got a 2020 F8 tributo and it has all kinds of scratches on the badge. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

    I don't a have a PDF to share at the moment, however the front bumper comes off in order for you to access the two small nuts holding the badge on.
    But wait..... there's more, there is super sticky adhesive that holds the badge in place as well, that requires some heat and patience to remove.

    The entire bumper has to come off???? I can deal with adhesive with some fishing line and a heat gun. but damn removing a bumper is wild.

    less likely to be stolen if it’s bolted down.

    Ok fair enough. Any way I can figure out how to take the bumper off?

    I generally just start removing stuff carefully until I reach my objective. But here’s a video that might slightly help.

    My Lord, that's disgusting.... removing panels with such carelessness on a work of art is bad enough but that wrap is just ridiculous.
