   im not 100% sure on how to remove them
   
   ..however i can tell you that once you remove them you will have some lovely holes in your boot which will need to be smoothed and resprayed

   get an old bank or credit card 1st
   then slide into the letters slowly to remove the glue.
   take your time and just loosen them as your moving along.

    just T-cut them.. a lot faster easier and no chance of snapping the clips that hold the badges off. and it looks about the same

    Easiest way to get them off is to use a hair dryer and some type of credit card..
    
    Heat the badges so that the glue softens behind it.. then it's easy to slip your card in and they just pop right off

    The rear badges arent stcikers mate,,they are both held on by two pins which you will be left with two holrs,,but i think when you go to put them back on,,then you may to stick them back on aswell as puttind the pins through as youve unstuck them. If you wnated to t-cut the rear badges you can just do it on the car like i did and it came out fine.
