Question

Anyone know how to remove the front grille badge ?

Do I need to take the grille off and get behind it or does it just prise off ?

Many thanks.

Blunt knife or screwdriver - it's stuck on with double sided sticky stuff just prise it out.

Assuming that you are talking about the black stars badge

Prise it off, it is held on with double sided tape
Comes off quite easily

Thanks for the replies. I will have a go later. I want to change the colour to match my car. I will let you know how I get on.

Take it easy round the edges, they can break quite easily.

Thumbs up

Old colour is easily removed using a rag soaked in Wickes paintbrush cleaner, and plenty of rubbing.
Doesn't harm the plastic, and after a wash with soapy water, leaves a good surface to paint using spray or brush: doesn't matter which, as you're painting the back, so you'll get an ace finish anyway!

Use a piece of string pull down from top - will cut through double sided tape without worry of breaking by try to prise the badge off..
