Just sort of pull them off slowly and carefully mate. They are glued on so just be careful not to snap them.

best way is
get dental floss, and move that behind the glue, will come off easily

T-Cut is the way if you want black badges and not worry about removing them, painting them and putting it back on.

Any colour restorer products will just rub away the layer of paint on the badges.

Just blast it down with the hose.

Basically... all t - cut does is remove a layer of paint. so when you t-cut your car, it always looks mint coz its removed some of the paint. thats why i dont use it... but any ways... the badges are black to begin with from the factory, then sprayed silver... when you use t-cut all it does is remove the silver paint and leave the original black colour of the plastic.

T-cut doesnt make the badge black!!!!

the badge is already black!! it just removes the paint!!!

27th July 2009, 20:44

do you use t-cut colour restorer or t-cut scratch remover ?

28th July 2009, 02:04

Any, it doesn't matter.
You just want to get rid of the silver paint.
