Carerra Logo torn off back
Got my car washed the other day by some guys on the side of the road offering detailing, etc....long story short I got home and noticed the "C" on the logo back of the car is ripped off....I'm thinking maybe their shammy cloth got caught in it or something but it wasn't there before I had it hand washed. Anyway, where can I order another one and how much am I looking at?

I got mine on ebay, fairly cheap and pre glued.
u can remove old one with dental floss. I recommend u use some type of painters tape at bottom of Carrera for reference points, clean area with rubbing alcohol, press on..

Hate to be snide -- OK, actually I love to be snide -- but shouldn't you change your handle? "...some guys on the side of the road offering detailing ..." What, are you a Hyundai owner? Otherwise your handle should be "Frank Knucklehead." Yikes.

But the reality is that not everyone is as **** as some of us. I never let anyone touch my car with a cleaning cloth or anything. Midnight Blue and no swirls. Looks like the day it was new. So easy on the Knucklehead lol

It was a small mobile detailing setup run buy five or six people. I'd been there a few times before with good results on my other cars. I brought my Porsche there after one of the guys mentioned he'd worked at BMW doing detailing, etc.
We have emblems here and this DIY (figure 3; I like to use Goo Gone and a mechanic rag to rub the residue off) should help you with installing it. It's pretty simple. Good luck!

After you get the glue residue off, please clay bar, buff any scratches, glaze/swirl remover, then wax.... THEN apply the new calling card.
Yes, we are a fussy bunch.
I like watching the factory workers using their template in placing the emblems...Im Jelly. I always just use painters tape.
