Removal of Rear Badges

Model: Volvo S40 MK 1 - Years 1995-2004
Part: Body

The badges applied to the rear of the vehicle displaying the brand and model information are generally fixed with double-sided adhesive (in the past, they were fixed with pegs that pressed into specific holes, making their removal quite unsightly) and can be removed very easily without leaving any marks. It is suggested to warm them with a hairdryer (a standard one for hair will suffice, not necessarily a professional one used by bodyshops) to loosen the adhesive, then detach them using nylon string or a plastic spatula; finally, remove any excess adhesive with a degreaser or solvent.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
