Re: De-badging help???

boil hot water in kettle, pour down badge/s, get an old card such as a blockbuster card down rear of badge and prise away. Will come off but may leave small residue/glue heat that up and pick at it. It will come off eventually. As you have a yellow one, you may need to t-cut it as the paint behind badge will be a lot brighter than existing paint on car due to it not being exposed to the elements

You could use old badges again, put some sealant etc on rear, but they will probably be faded so you can get new ones off ebay etc

Re: De-badging help???

I did mine the other day with this sort of method very straight forward and quick.
btw if you were planning on taking the front aswell you'll need to do some filling after its been taken off as it has a fixing aswell as the glue

Re: De-badging help???

an easyer way to do it is to get a heat gun, heat it up for like 30 seconds, and it will come off no probs. use somthing other than your hands tho obv. afterwards use a 'toffee wheel' which is a drill attachment, takes the glue right of with no hassle. give it a little polish and hey presto, you got yourself a de-badged cinq
