...as title - what's the easiest way to do this before I break something?

I took the whole grille off on my Bug Eye, approx 4 clips on the top. Sat it on top of a warm radiator in the house to heat the adhesive up, then got the lid from a biro pen and prised it off. There is also a small hole on the back of the grille to push through. Hope this helps.

Removing thw whole grille sounds a bit of a pain but is probably not a bad idea - should be able to pour hot water over it to get the glue undone.

You could also lever it up slightly and use strong thread 'saw' through the sticky pad.
Or in my case have a car in front you throw a stone up smashing the badge to bits

Got the new badge but decided I'd rather have a different one! No matter, can get a 2nd one of what I've already got and use them on the wings - Gonna go looking for a Carbon style "i" badge...

I used a hairdrier to warm the area and a small screwdriver wrapped in cloth to pull the badge off

I did the same as midlife, then warmed the new badge with a hairdrier aswell and just stuck it on.
The new badge i got came with complete instructions on how to remove old badge and fit new badge. www.scoobyparts.com

Messiah, the easiest way to get these badges off is if you know someone who goes fishing, ask them for a piece of fishing line (will have to be quite strong). slot this under the end of the badge and then use a "saw" motion back and to. Badge should come off quite easily.
