if you are sparying it anyway you can (gently) put a flathead screwdriver behind it without damaging the badge and bootlid

[smithy318i]

The pins are on the left and right, so go in from left and right.

Use a thick piece of card or cloth and you can prize it out without scratching the paintwork!

i found a butter knife was best as the edges on it are blunt also

[johnono]

2 sheets of A4 paper, (2 printed reciepts for the gumph i had just bought )

slid under the badge and levered up, was well easy!

Are they stuck on with adhesive?

Gentle heating with a hairdryer and prizing it off with a piece of card always works if so

[johnono]

noooo mate

2 pins about 1 cm in on the horizontal pushed on with little rubber plugs for grip. If we are talking about roundles, if its the actual model number badge then i dont know

[Zayyan]

Ah right, the hairdryer method works on the model badges.

Should've realised the roundels weren't stuck on with adhesive as they're so heavy

Just been and got a new rear roundel 20 minutes ago so will be performing the swap tonight as mine is looking a little tatty. Takes 60 seconds to change them over.
I did my bonnet badge not so long ago and while it's off gave the metal work a quick T-cut, made all the difference.
