just peel them off, Im 99% sure it wont take the paint off, then use abit of white spirit to remove any excess glue underneath

I did this with my Vegas a while ago. Took the first bage off, no problems, took the second one off and still to this day have a mark around where it used to be. Looks as if the badge was stuck on before the laquer was put on, but dont no if this is the case.

Id guess your would be fine though, mine must just have been a fault

You might need to use a heatgun or hairdyrer to warm that sticky shite up. Makes it a bit easier to scrub off.

As said above really IMO

Use hair dryer to warm it up a bit just to be safe. then peel it off and use something to get rid of the residue left behind. I used Auto Glym Tar and Bug Remover when i did my badges, worked a treat

Just take your time.

You want to get a roll of cotten and get about 12 inches of it, and slice the badge off using the cotten. Slide the cotten behind the badge and with a sawing motion she will be off in no time. It might snap the cotten a few times. Then rub abit of "tar and glue remover" on the glue. Perfect job! No risk of pulling the paint off
