I assume you mean the chrome one?  Sticky pads & three plastic lugs, easy to slice off with a cheese wire.

Debadged mine recently (now badged as Opel all round inside and out) and I found the easiest way was to pour very very hot (not boiling) water over the badge.

That softens the glue enough for them to just then gently prise off with a credit card (American Express will do nicely)
