The best way to remove the badges is to use fishing line. It can lift the badges off without damaging the paintwork.

As for pics, there are few people who have debaged their cars, you will need to do a search for the pics.

You can also use Dental Floss if you dont have fishing line...

The ones on the side skirts are soft sticker type badges and just peel off so you shouldnt have any trouble with them.

As for the boot ones coz they are so small they are also easy.

Warm up the badge with a hairdryer (DON'T get the paint hot or you will ruin it - all you are doing is warming up the glue on the badge!!) and as the others have said, use some fishing wire or dental floss to remove the badge. Clean off excess glue with prepsol.

If you want to remove your top coat then by all means use Metho!!!

You dont even need to use a hairdryer.

Grab some dental floss, hold it like a garrotte and slice in an up and down motion along the back of the badges. Once they are off, grab some teatree oil and soak the sticky tape stuff. Then wipe off after a few minutes.

After you have done this I would advise to grab out your wax and give the area a good shining to match the rest of your car.

Heres one I prepared earlier.
