How did you go about taking the badges off? I'm thinking of removing mine but am paranoid I'll damage the paintwork!!
There's a few methods, I used a hair dryer to heat the badges then eased fishing line (gut), not wire, behind the badge, use a motion as if flossing your teeth, I heard of people using dental floss aswell.
Then clean remains of glue with a tar remover or similar.
As I say, there are other ways, this worked for me.
Job done.
