usually just stuck on mate, would more likely leave a mark in your paint though as it will be more faded around the badge

nope no locating holes, heat them up then pass dental floss below them, remove old glue, may need a quick buff as the paint around the badges may be faded/ swirled more

You might have a job getting the glue off. Autoglym intensive tar remover does the trick with a bit of elbow grease.

I took mine off soon as i got it, literally just used a hairdryer and gently prised them off, gave it a quick buff and it looked so much better, saying that i have seen a few where they're been done black and that does look alright aswel

Just use white spirit to remove the glue residue works a treat :y: and then wash with a soapy sponge to prevent the paint being damaged by the white spirit and then buff if needed...

no you cant T-cut them different type of badge and will stay silver. If you heat them up they just pull off then get some tardis on the left over residue and wipe off jobs a goodun
