A bit of heat and some trim removal tools made out of plastic maybe, if you can get them under the badge anyway.

I've taken a set off a while ago, the badge is in 2 halves. There's like a plastic panel that goes over the Prodrive badge. So you could poke a screw driver in the Centre off the badge and that should get it to come off.

As I tried a screw driver at the edge and caught some paint. So I'd try going at the centre first.

There's a screw hole in the centre of the badge if I remember correctly.

yes mate there’s 2 hex bolts on each side under the badges

I used the advice above and worked a treat came off no problem used a plastic trimremover

then cleaned it with autoglym tar remover then put the fresh ones on 👌

thanks all much appreciated 🙏

Ah the straight edge trim tool and some heat? Did you use OEM badges? I bought some replica ones off ebay.
