   What, the clips or the badges? Well people have been known the heat the badges (cos they are stuck on with like double sided) then use say a credit card to prise them off. But be carefull not to scratch the paintwork. I just took mine off, and had it smoothed over then resprayed. Looks good

   I don't know if thats the correct way buddy. I just pulled mine off, didn't care if i broke them or scratched it cos it was gonna be gettin resprayed. I'd wait. How come you want to take them off anyway? You know it leaves holes in the bootlid? Tcut them Makes them go black. Looks good.

    if your careful you can get them off
    but its a bitch to do (im doing mine to spray them orange)
    
    and as for putting them back on get some 1mm thick numberplate sticky pads and trim them to fit the badge as well as you can
