tommyspark 24 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I'm planning on debadging our Sparks. Has anyone removed the bowtie on the back? Is it just adhesive on there or is it "anchored" like the H on a lot of Hondas? Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I know the front bowtie is held on by 2 screws from the back of the bumper cover, pretty sure someone else looked into removing the stuff on the back, just can't remember what they found.

SparkyRed 1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 There are two prongs like the Honda badge, have fun. If you are going to take the rear wiper off to take that panel off to make the debadging easier. There is a tab that you press to remove the cover that is covering the nut for the wiper Link to post Share on other sites

Lazerface 24 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Can always remove bowtie to replace with something else. I know a few of us did the Holden emblem. Link to post Share on other sites
Classing 6 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The rear bowtie is just held on with double sided tape. Comes right off. I had mine off when I installed the bowtie light. Link to post Share on other sites

tommyspark 24 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) If this is the case, I plan on painting it black,(plastidip) then relocating it somewhere on the hatch. Probably bottom left corner of it..... Edited August 21, 2013 by tommyspark Link to post Share on other sites
jbudgets 3 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 There are two small holes under the rear emblem. I took mine off, then put it back on after trying to find something that looked decent and filled up the holes, no such luck. The "spark" letters came off with a little heat, then I polished that area to get off the rest of the sticky stuff off. I have seen two other sparks with "Holden" style emblems running around the Sacramento area... But still in my opinion look big and tacky... Link to post Share on other sites
tommyspark 24 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ahh ok. Guess I'll just vinyl the bowties then. I think when I remove "Spark" i'm going to put a ? mark Link to post Share on other sites

Robert.412 0 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 First post! Anybody have any pics of the badges off? Wanna see what I'm dealing with before I jump in. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The rear Chevy emblem has two holes under it, the SPARK on the back is adhesive. The front is held on by screws through the backside of the bumper cover, bumper cover removal is detailed in the factory fog light install thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Alniter 0 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hey, to all you who are debadging (2018 Spark specifically): Would someone be so kind as to send me one of the "s"es if they're just throwing them out? Adding one to the end makes my car spell out one of my favorite bands.. Steve in FL Link to post Share on other sites
