Looks like I will have to have front fender painted. I would like to do some of the prep work before taking the car to the shop. as such I have several questions.

1 How to remove the S2000 badge on the fender?

2 Removal of the headlight (is the lens cover a seperate piece?)

3 Can the front bumper cover be loosened and pulled back slightly (only on the
affected side?)

 

1> use a hair dryer to heat the adhesive backing to the point you can carefully slide floss or thin fishing line under it to remove the emblem, slowly

2>the lens is a separate piece, but is held to the housing with clips and a bond. you need to significantly heat the housing to separate the lens from the rest of the headlight

3>Ive never tried to flex the bumper, but imagine it wouldn't move a lot. you also run the risk of the paint 'spider-ing'. the bumper is easy to just remove and place on a towel or something while you work on the light
