   You need to heat them up with a hairdryer or something so it melts the glue.

   there not stuck on wit glue ther clipped on, if you take off your pannel on the inside of the boot, and look down through the gap at the opposite side of wear the badges are you will see the other side of the clip, you just need to pinch them together and push it through.!!!

   You could just T-CUT them, they will turn black and it will be cheaper than buying paint Easier than removing and would save you alot of time

   imo it looks nicer when painted then laquered. I just poured boiling hot water down mine then eased it off with my student card. On the saxo badge there are two pins and 3 on the citroen one, i snapped my middle pin on the citroen 1 lol

    i just used a zip tye which my mate told me bout after doing his.
    just pull the zip tye up and down to brake the glue up on the back of the badges and they will come straight off.
