	yea, be carefull when removing the badges, i peeled them away slowly after heating up with a hairdryer and still removed tiny spots of piant!!! look like stone chips, so not too bad, could of been worse if i yanked them off!!!

	it only takes a small finger print on the car bodywork to stop the paint adhearing to the body. Any greese, oil or anything along those line will create a weak spot on the paint... if that spot just happens to be where the badge is and the right amount of force is is used, off comes the paint !! Best to be safe than sorry.

Fishing line or fuse wire is the way to go... :thumbs:

	i used that for the glue on my rubstrips, works a treat! Didnt have any when i took my badges off.

	i agree on the fishing line/dental floss approach auto-glym tar remover is great for removing the left over glue/foam residue

	use fishin line like dental floss and cut thru the glue, then pic off the rest of the glue and polish! Dont take off the griffin badge coz theres holes behind! I left mine in the sun all mornin then the badges came off in my hands!
