   Get some new ones from Citroen, £6 each as they'll come with self adhesive backing so spray it then stick them on properly
   
   Or go the route I went down for a month with no problems and use bluetack lol, takes a while but you can position the bluetack so its completly behind the lettering and you cant see it, was actually hard to get the badge off when I tried to remove it so it wont drop off with it on.
   
   Oh credit card behind the badges to remove them.

   blast them with a hairdryer then use a credit card to prise them off. then when putting them back on use a little drop of tigerseal, sikaflex of even reheat the glue that is already on the badges then stick them back on ( wouldnt use superglue).

   heat them up to take them off. DONT USE GLUE, why advise him to do that? it will take the paint or lacquer off if you everwant to remove them.
   
   Instead, get some double sided tape (pc world, staples, whsmiths etc) and use that instead. Doesn't come off but wont damage your paintwork either :thumbup:
