Strong nylon sewing thread used to saw through the adhesive pad, then meths, white spirit or WD40 to soften the remaining sticky stuff. Finish of with a polish and wax

It also makes it easier if you heat the badge up with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive, then as corradoboy describes - worked fine for me.

The easiest way I can suggest having struggled to do it is to get some other numptie to do it like my sister did
