      Rear Emblem Install - 2010 Aveo Sedan

      I am slowly getting the pieces to convert the Aveo into a Holden Barina.

      I removed the rear chevy bowtie and installed a Holden badge after debadging the entire exterior (except front grill).

      I made the mistake of prying with a screwdriver wrapped in a t-shirt. Even though I was gentle the sheet metal is so thin it ended up marking and tiny denting the trunk. I was going to use a smaller emblem but the marks were too noticeable.
      After realizing the error I used a plastic putty knife (wide) and wrapped in a t-shirt. That did the trick.

      Before I tried prying I used fishing line to help cut the glue on the original emblem.

      Next I pried gently with plastic putty knife wrapped in a t-shirt.

      I used Goo Gone General Purpose spray and a white t-shirt to remove the left over glue. This came of quite easy.

      Next I used bug and tar remover to clean and prep the area followed by glass cleaner.

      Then I used 3M emblem adhesive, a thin layer, and held for 5 minutes.

      Next I cleaned the leftover glue and waxed the area.

      The rear emblem I used had posts and tabs on it which I snapped,cut and filed off and cleaned before gluing.

      I would have used the Fishing line trick, it cuts through the adhesive very cleanly and does not do any damage; (my rear bowtie has what I like to call 'Badge Rot' and will likely need replacement soon.) but that Holden badge DOES look right at home on that decklid!

      I am considering this mod as well. Also considering re-badging as a ontiac and changing my grill. No Pontiac or Holden badged Aveos here in Thailand that I've seen. What did you do about your grill and front emblem? pics? or still have the bowtie? lol

      looks good dude!!!!
