I used some boiling water and some strimmer wire.
Pour some strimmer wire over the badged and then put some strimmer wire/dental flose or whatever and just saw away at it. It should come off to leave some glue on the car.
Just get some white spirits and a credits card and scrape it off.
For a grill it depends wheather you have a pre or post 97 (i think it's 97  ) bumper, if it's a "pre" you will have to cut the old grill away.
Just search on ebay for "Corsa b grill"

heat the glue up as said with a hair dryer, then get an old credit card or as I used my matalan card and slide the card behind the badge, you will then be left with a load of black shitty glue, either keep rubbing with your fingers of soften it more with a bit of petrol on a rag, t - cut and polish the area to blend it in.
For a Debadge grill get on ebay and get one from GBK performance, Ł14 delivered
