Try harder. It's on there with double sided tape only.

Can pry off with a flat blade.. be careful as they can snap easy.

It'll come off, eventually

I am hoping to throw on a couple of the pink letter 'i' logos. Just to personalize more than anything.

Might leave the car in the sun today and then have a crack with a small screwdriver under one end of the badge.

I can remember doing my old GC8 almost a decade ago and don't remember t being hard at all.

The badges were quite hard to find so I had better make use of them.

Use fishing line, piece of piss and 236% less likely to gouge your paintwork than a small screwdriver. You don't have to leave it in the sun either, just "hacksaw" it off.

When i swapped my grill to a CF one (thanks thuggy) i picked it off with my fingers. Something's not right man try the fishing line if that dosnt work bring it round and ill drive it for the week see if i can get it off.

I swapped both badges today. It was still well stuck but brute force got it off. The rear badge actually shattered.

I now I two Pink "i" badges. Sweet!
