hair dryer and an old credit card!
no holes on my FR, just stuck on....the easier bit is getting the badges off...just need abit of elbow grease to get the sticky marks left on after...but i just used a hairdryer and some window cleaner and it came off after a while

The hot water and dental floss worked a treat for me tonite
then i used a strong degreasent i suppose you would probably call it
to get the remaining sticky marks off
I wouldent have liked to try it with a card
Too thick, not nimble enough and a high risk of scrating the bodywork.

Happy days! LoL! Glad i saved you the trouble.
Yes, my beeza is a pre-facelift model, and is 5 years old now, so i was mainly worried about there being a difference in the paint colour where the stickers have been. A friend recommended that after the sticky badges have been removed that it might be a good idea to take a clay bar to the paint work, and a possible light T-Cut before hand if there is a noticable difference.
On the subject of the sticky stuff left behind after the badges come off, exactly what products does everyone deem safe to use directly on paintwork?
depends how carefull you are.....have de-badged plenty of cars with the old credit card routine.....just take it slow and be patient....
however, will give the dental floss trick a try at some point

I used warm water and credit card routine. Then to remove the sticky stuff I used a pencil rubber/eraser. Worked a treat!
Good Shout!
I tried some sticky stuff remover and it wasnt very good!
but then i realised if i use the hairdryer and warm the glue and then sticky stuff remover it came off super easy
Followed by some polish looks ace

+1.....hairdryer is way forward....also use windowlene or similar and it comes traight off with a polishing cloth...but a eraser sounds good
My vRS and Fabia badge are next to the number plate instead of next to the Skoda badge. I've looked on flebay they are £10 each for genuine ones, (that's £20 for both + postage). I was wondering weather i could stick it back on with say some black rubber sealant mastic stuff to save me from buying new ones.
