   Use a hair dryer mate and apparently it should just warm up and the glue will unglue itself and you will be able to take the badge off,,then youll be left with 3 holes as they are held on with pins too..3 holes on the citroen badge and 2 pins in the saxo badge.Look on here too mate there will be plenty of threads abot this.

   i got mine off with a hair dryer, and a old card (tesco clubcard haha)
   
   you do no they have pin on them aswell, so when you take them off there will be holes left. 3 for the citroen one and two on the saxo one.
