Thanks to Blugg for this HOW TO on removing badges!
:D
Real easy, just get a flat spatula, NOT metal. Don't want to scratch the paint. Use a hairdryer to warm up the glue and start to pry the badge off. In around a minute or 2 you'll be able to get the spatula right under the badge and just start to work out the 2 metal fasteners. I eventually pulled it off with my fingers.

While it's off, Smile.. Then might as well give it a pollish. No need to remove old glue unless theres tons of it left. I was lucky and it all stuck to the old badge.
Then simply heat up the badge and also the bonnet where the badge is going to get a good firm hold when you place it on. No need to worry about it being straight as the new lugs will guide it on. ( But do remember to remove the rubber lug covers on the new badge before putting it on !!

All that's left is to stand back and admire..
