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:

Everyone knows, a cold chisel and a club hammer.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.
