   Im going to colour code or spray my rear badges black and need to know something!
   
   WHat is a safe way to take them out and once they are out how do you attach them back. Do the pins just clip back in or do you need to glue them?

   if they are attatched by pins you should be fine just clipping them back into place, if not clean up the back of the badge then stick back on aswell

   Use a hairdryer to sofen the sticky bit on the back of the badge, then use a credit card to peel the badge away, there not clips but pins that goe into the rear of the car.
   
   Paint your badge,
   
   When it comes to putting it back on you can use a hairdryer again to soften the glue once again and stick it back on, or you can use some slue glue but not really recomended....
   
   Alot easier to just buy the badges from citroen themselves, About £8 each but come with a brand new sticky pad making life easier,

   mine came off after i washed my car, just use an old credit card and they should come off easily, then use double sided tape to put them back on
