I just did mine with dental floss, no hair dryer. And then rubbed the glue underneath with methylated spirit till it all came off. It takes a bit of elbow grease but it works fine.

took off the "1.2" and "vauxhall" badges today, took a bit of effort to get the black gloop off but managed it.

Looks a lot better, left the "corsa" badge on for now..
was a very easy job, I didn't apply hot water, just ran my old student card behind it, then spent ages removing the gloop. Simple job.

Thanks guys :D Will get pics up tomorrow when it's light.

Nope nothing, just put the dental floss at one end on the edge an pull it horizontally to cut the badge away. Then put some meths on a cloth and wrap it round your finger and scrape the glue away. Will probably take you about 30 minutes to debadge your whole boot.
