Removing Badges ans Decals
The Spirit of Competition
I did this just the other week, pretty much followed the DIY post http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?t=521&highlight=badge
Just need to be patient & cut through the tape slowly & angle the fishing line outward away from the surrounding paintwork. Some people put masking tape around the surrounding area to stop any scuff marks might make with your hands.
The chrome badges came off very easy, but the RA boot sticker sits much flatter & requires bit more muscle to be worked off.
Happy to report that I didn't make any new scratches, but gave the boot a quick once over with some polish & looks great now.

I bought fishing line from the local sports shop for $3 or so for a huge amount (only needed about 1/50th of it). Get a hairdryer and keep moving it back/forth (so it doesn't stay on one spot too long) and then use the fishing wire back and forth to cut through the adhesive. Once done, clean the area.
EDIT: Realised I did pretty much what this guide says! http://clubcj.net/viewtopic.php?p=7157#7157
