Well ive painted mine white, to get the badge off i used dental floss lol but you might be better using fishing wire or something abit stronger. just use it as a "saw" to cut through the double sided tape :)

Yeah i got mine off by heating the adhesive on the tape with a hair dryer came off easier,
i had a black 1 i brought (they said it would fit!) but it didnt so have to colour mine
just looking at either painting or getting some carbon wrap and doing it in that thought would look cool
what do you reckon ? ? got any pics of yours ?

I'm also interested in removing the back badge, but to paint/do something with the black backing to the badge as it's faded to grey, but leave the badge chrome. Would you have to slice off the sticky tabs to separate the silver badge from the black backing and re attach it with an OEM kit or just run-of-the-mill sticky tabs?

I just snapped the two clips on the back and pushed it out, painted it the just used double sided tape to hold it back together just look for "my new 9n Sport" thread in this section. theres some pictures of it.
