Mmm great.

Okay so yeah, I take a look at my trunk and the three is missing from my badge. Great. There are marks around it, I think someone took it off with a flat head screw driver. I hate. People.

Just debadge it and you won't have to worry about "street urchins" (except the roundels) If you really want to be trick about it, have a really good pinstriper/sign painter paint on your roundels.

^^^ yeah and I was just going to debadge it, but lo and behold the numbers were on their with some type of glue not adhesive. Wtf. So the spot they were in looks TERRIBLE I'm going to have to respray the entire trunk if I want it too look normal maybe. Shit.

On a good note I put sprayed adhesive onto my C-Pillars and glued the fabric back down so they don't look like shit.

Try some goo gone to get rid of the adhesive. I used that on my friends E30. Probably not the same stuff as on the E46, but worth a try

^^^ I did, and I used an adhesive remover and a buffing compound. It didn't even scratch it. I can't think of anything else to do but like take steel wool to it. But that would do wonders for the paint.

This shit looks like someone superglued the letters to the car. I'm not seeing anyway to get this off besides removing everything under it, its only a spot about 5" by 2" inches, but the paint in that spot is totally shot.

That sucks man....did you try to polish the paint to get it lookin better. Colour matching can suck if the paint is hard to match.
