Heat with a hairdryer to soften the glue and gently pull.
Or use strong thread/fishing line to saw through the glue.

Use something like Autoglym bug and tar reover to clean up the residue and a final polish/wax.

get some dental floss mate. gently saw behind the badge.. It will leave some sticky stuff on, but that will go away with some elbow grease and polish

Yep!! I will second that!!

Exactly what i was going to say!! Done it this way myself with a hair dryer and carefully pull of badges. (My girlfriends expensive hair dryer ended up being left in the garage- i forgot to bring it back into the house before she got home!!) Lets just say i lost a few browny points!!LOL

"SCOOBY" has been done so time for something original.



And when I fancy a change it can soon be made naked again.
