how do, i used boiling water on mine so that the glue melts,is that the badge ure on about? or a hair dryer as they arent hot enough to do serious damage,but i would still be very careful so not to bubble ya paint!  :wink: any residue and t-cut oand polish should get rid!

When I debadged my last car I used a hairdryer and pulled some string down behind the badge to cut through the foam adheasive, And to get any remainding glue off, I used Evostik adheasive remover.
