   I am contemplating t-cutting my rear badges, however I have only seen one or two wicked red cars with this done, and the pictures were not the clearest.
   
   Has anyone who has done this to their car got any pictures?

    About a minute after making the thread I just went out and did it.
    
    Glad I did now, looks good. Spent about half hour, but gave it a quick sand down first which made it less work Will look nice when I get my black wheels I think.
    
    Might take them off and paint them when I have the time though if it makes a noticeable amount of difference.

    i took mine off using a hair dryer!
    
    then i bought some 'trim repair kit' from halfords to stick them back on, it's basically just double sided tape.
    
    sure some people use tiger seal to stick them back on aswell

    Cheers so once the glue warmed up they should pop off without snapping the pins
