Debadge NA

Just wondering if anyone would be able to tell me if there were any pinholes behind the badge or is it just adhesive?

-couldn't find a thread for the NA where it had been done etc.

Cheers

Unfortunately, the front badge has two pins holding it in place.

When ever I see a MX without a badge I think the owner had a repair and couldn't afford the $35 for a new one :lol:

Aust domestic market NA6 didn't have a front bar emblem from '89-'92.

They look heaps better without a badge, I would have removed mine if it didn't leave holes. Look at a marketing brochure from the time, no badge. Pure guess but I reckon it was designed for no badge.

I removed my NA8 one. No holes under it, just adhesive.

The first NAs came out when Mazda didn't have an actual "badge" as such, all their cars simply used the MAZDA script.

Mazda didn't start using a proper badge until the mid 90s with the anus badge.

Eunos,Autozam, and Efini however had badges from day one, so of course, they got used on the corresponding Mazdas sold at those dealerships.

See mines a late 1993 na8 eunos roadster with anus badge, when i started to remove mine i think i saw holes which would make sense as it originally would have had a eunos badge
