Hi, how do you remove these badges without causing damage if they need replace? are they stuck there or help some other way?

Protect the paintwork ,cloth or similar, then ease a old knife under the badge, i say old knife because 1st time i tried ended up bending one of our best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thick dental floss works very good and cannot harm the paint, after the emblem is off the sticker residue will need to be removed with an adhesive softener/remover.
