Hi all,
New in town having been a BMW, Mini and long time Vauxhall owner (boo hiss)
Picking up a new 61 plate Kia Sportage KX-3 on either Sat or Mon, from dealer stock, going to test drive it in 30 mins.
Any ways, if i replace all the KIA badges with the better looking K badge is the dealer likley to get a bit crappy over it? As in the warran side of things?
I have just seen an excellent 11 piece badge set on ebay for £60 from korean which actually includes the key fob badges, which i thought was a nice touch as it will keep everything universal.
Anyone had any experience of a dealer refusing to carry out any warranty work because of the badge changes?
Im thinking i might get a set of spare kia badges just in case?
Also i know i need to do a propper search on here, but how easy is it to get the badges off? From past experience it was a pan of hot water onto the badge to soften the sticky back and then pull off using a screw driver if neede very carefully so as not to scratch your pride and joy.
Many thanks
