Remove bonnet badge - how ?
Am thinking of swopping out my tired bonnet badge - is it just a case of flat blade crew driver to prize it off or does it need the hairdryer treatment as well.

Although I didn't, careful masking around the edge of the recess followed by a few thin coats of clear spay lacquer (gloss or semi-matt to personal taste...) will seal everything off from the elements and give the repair a longer life. Tip: Check the new decal fits snuggly inside the grill badge recess before you attemp to fix it, mine was a bit on the big side and needed the edges fettling with a file before removing the adhesive backing paper. |

Warmed mine up with a heat gun then carefully stabbed it in the centre so I could get a hole to lever it free without damaging the surround at all and no damage under the badge either. I think there is a gap there so gives some leverage space
