   My mate warmed the rear badges with a hairdryer then used a credit card to prize them off, try not to snap them though, and the chevvys i beleive just pop out but have to take the grill off. Dont quote me on that though.

   rear badges, just warm up and prise off with creditcard as said and as for the front, i masked up the rest of the grill and painted them
   
   2 coats of primer will be enough, then as many coats of colour as you like to help prevent stone chips being more noticeable, also laquer over the top as it will give a nice shiney finish

   if you want the rear ones black as said just tcut them til the silver somes off. as fort the chevrons there is 2 little clips holding each one on just poke a screwdriver in to unclip then and theyll just pop out redy to be srayed any colour you like

   i colour coded mine and all they had was a quick sand down two coats of primer, two coats of paint and three coats of laquer and they match perfectly.
   
   depends on getting them off mine were falling off anyway so just creditcarded them, and as for sticking them back on use tiger seal fuckin amazing stuff but make sure you leave it for 24 hours or else it'll leave a mess that you will regret

   careful debadging the back mate, it leaves 2 holes under the "saxo" and 3 under the "citroen"

   It's annoying getting the back ones on agin once you damaged the sticky foamy stuff

    think ill remove them, spray them white, then either use adhesive pads, or tiger seal to stick 'em back on?
