Fitting Likwidart Eagle Badges

[rtbiscuit]

these are instructions from Rob at likwidart, what he didn't add was the full instructions but he has pasted them on verbally to me and i shall now share them with you lot.

these instructions need to be followed exactly, if you try and freestyle this and it goes kaput, its your fault for not reading the instructions properly, or not following them. if it does go wrong they can be removed, but you won't be able to reuse them.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PEOPLE FITTING THE EAGLE BADGE TO THEIR WIND DEFLECTOR

FIND THE SMALL EAGLE BADGE IN YOUR SET AND REMOVE THE 'M' FROM THE HEAD OF THE EAGLE NOW. IF YOU TRY AND PUT THE BADGE ON WITH IT STILL IN PLACE IT WON'T FIT!



at all times these badges must be treated with great care, until they are on the car they are very fragile, and the last thing you want is a section to ping off.

1.
make sure that the area you are going to adhere them to is properly clean. i would highly reccomend giving the area a proper t-cut if you have removed an old badge from that area. also use a lint free soft cloth so that you don't add more scratches.

finish off with a degreasing agent like lighter fluid or meths to remove any grease or dirt. if there is any left on there it will affect the adhesion of the glue.

2.
 keeping the logo on its backing paper, position your logo where you want it on the car. you may find using a longer piece of masking tape a useful guid to make sure its straight. take you time on this because once its on its on, and if you want to remove it you will need to buy a new badge.

3.
once you are happy with its location you need to mark it on the car its location. the best way to do this is to put a piece of masking tape on the left hand side vertical and another at the bottom, this will leave a lovely 'L' shape on the rear of your car.

4.
you can now take away your logo leaving a lovely L shape on the car.

5.
this stage it is vitally important that you do it as told, if you don't you can make a mess of it.

you must lay masking tape over the eagle badge so that you can remove it from its backing paper. when you put the tape on you must not stretch it over (otherwise when you remove the backing paper the tape relaxes and moves all the items out of place) gently lay 2 stripes 1 on the left hand vertical and one on the bottom. (these will be your guides when you come to put the badge on the car)

make sure you work the tape properly around the whole shape of the badge (if you stick to just the top you may not be able to lift all the parts up.)

now do the same with some smaller pieces of tape over the rest of the badge, making sure not to stretch the tape,  and that it covers all of the badge.

6.
you can now turn the badge over and carefully remove the backing paper, make sur eyou don't touch the sticky back sections, and that all sections are stuck to the masking tape.

7.
take your time on this, if you rush it and it isn't straight, you'll have to pick it all off and buy a new one. use the straight edges of the masking tape you left on the car, and the ones you stuck on the badge as a guide to line up the location. once your happy push down on to the car.

8.
now gently work on each piece of the badge, making sure that all sections are pushed down firmly. i would spend a good 5 minutes doing this just to make sure all sections are pushed on.

9.
now you can gently remove the masking tape, if you have done this properly the badge should be perfectly positioned, and all stuck down. now use a little more lighter fluid or meths and remove any sticky marks from the masking tape. and voila your all done.

if you are unsure of any part of these please don't hesitate to contact me, i'd rather you speak to me first than try it and make a pigs ear of it. or even come and see me or rob at Likwidart and i'll fit it for free.
