Re: How do I remove the washer jets?

They're very tacky green ones with LEDs actually! (Perfectly suit a blue car!) lol. I've managed to get them moving, so they will rotate on the spot, but they won't pull out. So I dont think they're glued on. I can't see how I'd get a scredriver or pliers underneath, in order to undo any nuts as my ...

Re: MR2 Badges

If its a UK model both the front and rear badges are held by glue and x2 pins that are part of the badge. These pins are then held in by little rubber grommit things.

If you have an import, only the front badge has pins with holes in the bodywork, and the rear badge is just glued on :)

Re: MR2 Badges

Heat up with a hair dryer, use a debir card to get behind and lift carefully.
The heat breaks down the bonding agent so works perfectly.

Then got rid of the residue with either baby oil or tar remover

A bit of t-cut to get the paint colour right and your all done :)
