Depends what year, the later ones use the same rectangular clips & inserts as the 'Golf' badge, the earlier ones have a round pin thing with a chunky rubber insert.

I had no dramas with removal (later 90 spec car), just levered it out from the inside and it popped off, got a spare from the scrappy just in case, removed the rubber from the back and cleaned 15 years of crap out of it and sprayed it matt black, did not like it on the car so removed it flatted it and sprayed it Tornado red to match the car, wit til dry reaffix the black rubber backing and pop back into the panel, wicked result!! :cool:

i got mine off a rallye, held in with the little rectangle pins. if you've got no luck in the next month or so you can have mine as i'm smoothing all the rear panel off.
