I have just used my fingers & nails in the past.

A short piece of fishing line's good(as thin as possible, but as strong as possible), wrap each end around some small pieces of wood (the old style pegs are good) & use a saw action :y

Warm the badges with a hairdryer/hot air paint stripper (be careful with these!) as he glue softens, carefully tease the badge away from the paint using a thin blunt tool. The glue residue can then be removed with nail polish solvent or isopropyl alcohol. :y

If you intend to remove the Griffin on bootlid, bear in mind that it`s located via a hole in the lid

Mate do not use and i mean do not use nail polish remover as its acetone based and will remove paint. i.p.a is o.k or just use bug and tar remover.  I used a small flat blade screwdriver with electrical tape round the end as not to scratch the bodywork.

I've just remembered- WD40 very good at desolving the sticky tape & doesn't harm the paint work :y :y

......hair dryer and lolly sticks (as they tend not to scratch like screwdrivers) and you can cut them to give ny desired shape to your edge...........

I recently asked the same question as I've now de-badged mine. I found that pouring very hot water and gently pulling on the badge as your doing it. When the badge is off your left with the foam backing adhesive. For this I used my toddlers toy "knife" and rubbed the excess off.
To finish, I used T-cut and polish!

There's no scratches/marks where the badges are, well chuffed!
