Grille Badge Removal
I've recently bought a bugeye STI grille, but as my motor isn't an STI I want to remove the badge on the side of the mesh.
It's sort of pop riveted to a back plate. I wondered if anyone had done this before and could give me some tips on the best way to get it off without doing any damage.

try fishing line instead of cotton - that's probably a better (and stronger) option
for the sti badge on the grille - can't you snip the rivets on the back? a pic may help

i saw on another thread in "styling", which you've probably seen by now, dental floss instead of cotton - wish i'd thought of that at the time as removing all the badges from the boot would have been a lot quicker!!

This is the badge I mean. Cheers for the reply. I'll have to try something like that. I reckon snips or a junior hacksaw should do the trick.
