best way is to use a credit card and SLOWLY scrape it off, then polish out the glue and it will be fine after a good t-cut :) if you arent carefull with this you could dammage your paint work!!!

You COULD use a screw driver, but youd have to be very, very careful not to gouge the paintwork. You could also try to use a think pallette knife and a hair dryer.

The best way is to pull the badges off, then wet the backing glue with water and use a towel to rub the glue off it grips the towel realy well and it will fly off, trying to use your nails will take days. thats the easy part the hard part is blending the paint work. this is very time consuming but all you need to do is t-cut the area about 20 times this will take aproz 4 hours work to get a perfect match but you dont want to be rolling around with corsa in brighter colour paint on the back of your motor do you.

hope i was of help :)

Yeah, T-Cut is really good, especically on them older Corsa's with the paint work faded. (Common problem with older models).
