Possible to completely debadge?

[CyberNewbie]

Is it possible to completely debadge the Cyberster (removal of MG badge front and rear and Cyberster on rear)? I am planning to order a GT this coming week and considering debadging. I understand the Cyberster on the rear can be removed but not sure about the MG badges. If anyone has completely debadged please share some pictures

Probably yes. Most modern cars, these days, have sick on badges. Which are easily removed. I'm a fan of de-badging, think it looks nice and clean/smooth looking, and just a tad easier to clean.
Personally not sure, about removing the actual MG badges, but all the others, definitely. S'pose if they are only stuck on,
you could take them off, see how it looks,
if you like the way it looks, job done. If you don't, put them back on. Don't forget pics, if you do, do it.

Beware, the front MG badge may be recessed like some other MG models.

Good point, then it's a definite no no.

MG4 front badge recess for reference.

Looks good…

Its possible and there shouldn't be any crevices. The wheels have MG logos so if you can get the caps wrapped or sprayed

Good luck trying to remove the badge from the steering wheel (could accidentally set off the airbag).

Indeed. It is just the MG badges at front and rear plus Cyberster and GT (is there a one?) badges I will want removing.

I assume dealers will do a good job of this and no risk of scratches?

Well at least if the Dealer damages it, it'll be their responsibility to fix it.

Do it yourself, it's really easy. I wouldn't be surprised if the dealer won't do it. For the very reasons, MG Clive gives, they won't want to pay for damages. Although they'd have to be pretty dozy, to do any damage.
Warm the badge with a hair drier NOT, Heat gun. Use fishing line or dental floss,
and slice down the back of the badge, like a cheese cutter. Then clean off any remaining glue, with WD40 or similar. Then Polish. Job done! Stand back and admire.

Thats absolutely pointless. Besides i had 35% tints (not legal) on my Z which had a bigger cabin and you couldnt see the interior. I liked the privacy. The yellow one i saw locally in December i couldnt see the driver. The cabin is sonewhat dark and factory glass is usually 70% legal limit. A 50% top up wouldn't hurt.

Incase you didn't notice. The Cyberster is a convertible. Everyone will see the steering wheel when the roof is down.

Here's a good reason to remove this one, it appears to be very easily broken if you're not careful.

I have debadged my last few cars (only external, Z4, TTS and TT RS (left the Audi rings on)). I don't see the point in debadging internally.

Should be interesting with the Cyberster as most people have not come across one and debadging will keep them guessing (unless they look closely at the wheels ).

Thats fine i was referring to roof up and a yellow one i saw.

If the Caberster lettering really does wear out so quickly, then it would be worth having it made as adhesive film and sticking it on instead. At least then it would be easier to repair!

My experience so far is, that people appreciate the MG logo and I like it as well - same goes with the „Cyberster“ one, so, as I also do love them, we will for sure keep them there…

Fair enough, each to there own.
