hello mate, i debadged mine fairly easily, i used and old debit card so it dont scratch the paint, gettin the badges off is harder than gettin the foam off after lol but my advice is not to wet the foam just pry it all of with the card until just the sticky residue is left,might take a while then i used t-cut to get it off and it came up mint! dunno about the black strip though i left mine on, didnt like the look of it without.

Looks mint mate, easy way to do the rear bootlid/little badges on the side & bump strips on side is get a hair dryer to warm them up, then get some strong fishing line, and just run it behind the badge. The fishing line will slide behind the badge and glide through the glue.

Getting a debadged grill also looks mint, might be worth a look

Let us know how you get on, with pictures of your progress

All the best

Upload your photos to an image hosting site, like PhotoBucket, then just copy and paste the image link that photobucket gives you

Hope that helps
