Removing bootlid & front wing badges?

[esray]

Dear Forum.

This is probably a stupid question, but I have been unable to find an obvious answer anywhere on the forum......How do you remove the badges without damaging them or the relevant panel, please?

Just prise the pins on the rear of the badges out of the plastic inserts with a small screwdriver & a cloth to protect the paint.

I have used a thin steel rule very carefully with good results, making sure it's bent away from the panel.
Perhaps a stanley blade to start it off would be a good idea..
The only badge I've kept on my car is the spare wheel boot badge now though

Careful that the previous owner hasn't glued them on :shock:

Hi, try a plastic filler spreader to reduce the risk of damage, even works if they have been
fixed with badge/double sided tape.

If they have been glued on and the badge is NOT plastic, then a bit of motivation from
a heat gun will loosen most epoxies so you can remove the badge. Silicon/RTV is another
story altogether, though. Heat makes no difference.
