Basic query - bonnet badge

How do you take it off? I need to replace mine really.

Lift up the bonnet, look inside where the badge is. There's 2 plastic nuts. Unscrew them and carefully push the prongs of the badge through.

just prise it off gently with something flat,preferably not metal to avoid damaging the paintwork. there is 2 little dowels on the back that pop into holes on the bonnet. it might have been glued on as well by a previous owner.

I don't appear to have plastic screws on mine and it's solid as a rock trying to get it off. Maybe it is stuck properly.

Hi I read lately that someone used fishing line to slide under badge and gently pry off,thought that was good idea.

thats a good idea for pulling back and forth to cut through silicon type adhesives.

It will pop off with a flathead screwdriver, just wrap some tissue round the screwdriver just in case it leaves a mark.

i wrap a screwdriver blade in insulating tape and prise it up 2mm at each side at a time if its never been off it will have a good hold...but it WILL come off
