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

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
