I would like to de badge my car ? Which is the best way of removing them and the glue that sticks tham on thanks.

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

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.

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

That's a good idea

Owning a black Monaro is a much better idea Pete!

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.

Took mine off a previous car and not gona do it again, I used fishing wire as been said that was great but the sticky was a b******d to get of lots of t cut the car was about 10 years old and you could allways see where they were,

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

......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!
