   hello,
   
   have wanted to de-badge for a while now. got a mk2, are the badges held on with pins or glue.
   
   if glue is the best way to use the hair dryer and dental floss trick??
   
   if pins, whats the best way.
   
   appreciate any help

   haha.. urm yeah its not that complicated. but obviously not something that youd want to get wrong.. but the pins are tiny.. so your only going to have to fill, sand, and paint a tiny area of the boot lid.. shouldnt notice it too much if its not perfect

   once you take the badges off there will be little rubber things which the pins on the badge go into.. they are barely noticeable and if your not confident to fully tackle debadging they will be ok for now
   
   im sure theres a guide for it around here somewhere.. if i find it ill let you know!
