Default Debadging
I am seriously considering debadging the Ghia as I have taken quite a liking to the 'clean' look. Are there any holes behind any of the badges? What's the best way to remove them? :

Before you ask the Ford badges stay, might grab a S2/3 boot garnish though.

Any help or thoughts are appreciated

It seems there are holes for the 'Fairmont' badge, bugger.

I had the Ute debadged when i got her resprayed. Only way to do it I'm afraid. I've taken all the badges off including the FORD badges. She looks clean as. No Body kit, no badges. Just a nice, clean, low and loud AU. Best way to have it i think.

Series I has 'Fairmont' written on the side of the bootlid doesnt it? If so, you should be right to get that one off, i highly doubt there would be any holes behind it.

Id go for a Series II chrome bit on your bootlid, it should fit and it looks a lot better than the Series I one. Has 'Fairmont' sorta engraved into it (if you need pics let me know).

Id also take the Ghia badges off the side, and if anything i would put a small 'V8' badge on there from either a 220 V8 model, or dare i say it, an SS.

I think you're a bit off b2tf, I stuck my hand up under the boot and there was two things sticking through behind the 'Fairmont' badge but hopefully I'm wrong. I already have 2 'V8' badges on the front guards and only one 'Ghia' one under the 'Fairmont' badge. The chrome boot bit is what I meant by garnish but I spose that's not quite right :P

That's the first ive ever heard of the Fairmont bit having holes behind it - i just dont see why it would cos its on the bootlid. Weird.

my falcon badge had holes behind it (left hand side of boot lid)
they annoyed my for ages, but i managed to position the turbo badge to cover both of them.
dont know why they needed holes for the badge ... annoying.

Wow, i never realised they had hole sbehind them. I think its to help in badge placement at the factory etc. Thats about the only real reason i can think of for having the holes there, other than to **** people off when they wanna take the badges off. :togo:
