I used the hair dryer to warm the adhesive up behind them then pulled the badges off. Then carried on using the hair dryer to heat up the rest of the adhesive left behind, gently using a credit card card to scrape at the adhesive.

I got most of it off and then just used Auto Glym bug and tar remover to get the rest of it off using plenty of elbow grease
