Default V3 Sti 555gel badges.

I hope this topic has not been thrashed to death but I'm a new member/owner so forgive me.
I'm struggling to find a supplier preferably in the UK although that doesn't really matter, who could supply replacement gel wing badges and the build number badge for my car. The ones I have found are not just the same as mine.
I need to remove mine to get the car painted so wanted to get new ones.
would anyone have a link or contact for a supplier.

Genuine build number badges are not available from anywhere. Do you still have the original one ??

I still have all of them on the car. I'm worried about removing them before sourcing new ones in case I destroy them and can't get replacements.
Anyone any tips on sympathetic removal of the old badges?

Heat them with a hair drier and then use a plastic wedge to gently pry them off.
My advice would be to just buy new wing badges (good replicas can be had off eBay for under a tenner) but be extra careful removing the numbered badge and re-use it.

no doubt the guys on http://www.type-ra.com/ would have some info also but pretty sure the numbered badges haven't been available for a long time........
