If your badges are just attached with the sticky crap, use floss. it works a treat, used it on 2 cars now. They say use kerosene to get the reminets off the paint work, but im not game enough, Just use some good old elbow grease
-
floss?
im not sure if they are stick on or not either...
-
Yep, floss :D
or if u think u have a very steady hand, use a butter knife, but this WILL scratch paint if not careful
-
i took the GL badge off my corsair........you cant just use floss......get a heat gun or if you dont have a heat gun get your mums hair dryer then use floss.......or better then floss i rekon use fishing line....i didn't try that coz i couldn't find any at the time...and once you have got it off just like use kero like above or just car polish worked for me :D

wont it leave a outline on it due to the fact that the paint underneath has never seen sun?
-
I rebadged mine...
I used nichrome wire to get the old badge off... nichrome wire is awesome, connect it to a battery and it gets red hot. Used it to melt thru the tape stuff.

I was an spray painter apprentice in an smash repair joint(for about 4moths and said good buy ,They just wanted moneymoneymoney and didn't care for the workers and had rubbed my (idenity)skin away my finger tips off was really pain full ). :'(
Back to topic What they used was a heat gun to take the badges off( but u can use your moms dryer ) or just a raizor blade and then used a Honey Wheel( wich is just called honey wheel because it has same colour like honey and is made of some type of soft rubber) to take the sticky double sided tape off or just Prepsol (Wax and grease remover) or kerosen.
Just put the prepsol or kerosen and leave or hold an saturated cloth of the wax grease remover/kerosen on the sticky bit for about a minute or abit longer and you should be able to easy'li remove it with you fringers or use the cloth instead.
