I have a 1.2 corsa LS and I want to get rid of the LS badge because I just simply don't like it.
I've been told to boil a kettle and pour it around hte badge till it becomes moveable and pull it off.... but will the boiling water do anything to my paint work? And how do I go about removing the LS?
Help please

hairdryer and a tesco clubcard heat the badge up and slip the card under, it'll peel straight off. Then get your polish ready

use a hairdryer to heat up the badge, then peel it off with your hand, dont use any tools

nono easiest way is to boil up the kettle once its cooled for about 30 seconds pour over the badge and it and the glue come off no problem bit of tar remover and it looks lovely

best thing to use is a caramel wheel - the lads at local garage lent me one - just plugs in end of drill and removes glue in a bout 5 mins - careful not to do it for too long tho as can melt paint
