heat it up with a hair dryer first and then use fishing line to pull it off

ur better off getting a friend to guide you when u line it up, thats wot i did - theres a recess behind the badge to help as well

i heated mine up, then used dental floss, and it came right off - WD40 gets the glue off ur paintwork - check sig

perhaps you could use something like a bit of chalk (or anything that won't damage the paint) to mark where the original badge's topmost and bottommost points are, say the bit in the middle of the V (at the top) and also the bit in between the W (at the bottom)?

just a quick question - the polo and engine size badge on the back - are they glued on or are they bolted/screwed affixed thru some holes ??

Just remember that they will leave holes when you take them off.
