Yeah a bit like numberplate adhesive....... If you heat it up witb say a hairdryer, it leaves less adhesive on your bootlid which is a cock to remove. You can do it dry but its always better to heat it up first

Yeh heat it up, then use some fishing line or dental floss (strong! )  to put down the back and pull the badge off,  ,you can then get some stuff called "goo gone", from halfrauds which will take the glue off  :smiley:

I can't believe some of the answers here.

Everyone knows, a cold chisel and a club hammer.
