so i went to the agents and treated my cabrio with a nice new shiny bonnet badge. now i want to replace the boot badge, how on earth do i get it off?
im not too sure i want to introduce my boot to my screwdriver with my slightly impatiant prodding.

Credit Card is what I usually use to get badges off, get it right in and they pop off.

u can pry it off as above like smal knife with cloth round it put a screw into the centre of the badge and pull the screw (done this loads sounds worse than it is)
or get a wire tie behind it and give it a tug

If you jam anything under it, make sure it's wrapped in something soft.
A thin screwdriver wrapped in a cloth usually does the trick.

taking the badges off is a sinch with a thing butter nife and a cloth wrapped around i did mine the other day although the boot one was a bit stuck.
have you heard to those who have invested in nicer looking badges especially the carbon ones that little fookers have worked out they can get them off and are now pinching them like the old days of VW and merc badges Public enemy style.............i will get my coat.....
