  • Ds3 badge pins?

    I've seen on here that some of the ds3 badges are pinned on or riveted.
    I've looked for the specific date that they stopped doing this but come up short.
    I was thinking could I remove the interior trim of the boot lid to see if there are pins/rivet heads.
    What I'm wanting to do is remove the Citroen and the ds3 badges and add an old style Citroen badge painted the same colour as the car. This could possibly cover up the holes aswell(depending on how many there are)
    If anyone knows when they started just sticking them on please let me know.
    If it helps my car is a yellow 2011 DSport 110 HDI.

    Thanks!

    UPDATE!!
    I took the interior trim off and there were no holes in the outer metal body panel, I took some nylon string to the corner of the DS3 logo and it popped right off. I'm pretty sure the boot lid has been replaced before I got the car. Due to the fact the citroen lettering was slightly crooked and the ds3 just popped off.

    Thanks for the help guys!

    The Citroen letters are just stuck on. I'm not 100% on the DS badge, best thing to do would be to buy some replacement sticky pads then take it off anyway, if it doesn't have pins then great, if it does, it's easy to line up again and re-stick

      Mines the same car. The DS got pins in it, the rest are glued on

        Could you possibly tell me where the pins are? Hopefully they can be covered. I thought 2 pins for the "D" and 2 for the "S" maybe?

          I think is a poss one in each but they looks thick, I didn't take it off as I didn't want to drive around with holes lol. Only one way to find out I guess ? haha

            If I was to remove the DS badge and the holes were too big, where would I go about getting the advise tape. Can you buy it pre-cut to the logo?

              You could ask your dealer, I'm guessing the badge with pads can be ordered as they'd need to be replaced in the event of an accident I'm assuming you've checked Amazon and eBay for it ?

                A new badge will come with tape on it. You can get the tape at any autoparts store or like he said E-Bay / Amazon. Anyone with an opposable thumb will be able to use scissors to cut the tape.
