   You'll need to buy a special tool to remove them called a flux engaging spindle hammer. They aren't easy to find but once you track one down you can debadge the absolute shit out of your Saxo.

   shall i be the helpful one then...
   
   when i helped my mate debadge his corsa we used a heat gun to loosen the stickyness. you could use a hair-drier if you wish to, just hold it there longer, do one letter at a time or bit by bit for the badges that are joined. after we used a product (forgot the name) that helps remove the excess mess. you can possibly use hot water and elbow grease if you dont wanna splash out.
   
   so you have two options there; heat gun and product
   
   or
   
   hair dryer and hot water and scrub.
   
   hope that helped

   except a couple of things: saxo badges are clipped on, you're left with holes in your boot. So you have two options here:
   
   - leave as is
   - unclip and you need a soldering + filling + paint job.
   
   At the end of the day, don't give advice on saxos, based on your mates experience on a different make and model.

    just buy a mesh grill, look so much better! if not DIY just cut the slates etc. If you want the boot debased then id seek a professional to fill and paint if you are that great DIY

    open the boot, remove the boot trim, and you'll see.

    they are clipped on... And stuck on... I'm guessing a previous owner took them off thinking 'oh great debadging piece of piss' then seeing them holes and sticking badges back on. Never mind saves me doing it myself haha. Ah well at least thread starter knows now

    Well if you really want to unstuck them, use a hair dryer to soften the glue. It will come off eventually.
