Badge replaced and looks much better. Basic procedure I followed was to drill out pins from behind badge with 10mm drill to remove the melted plastic bits on the ends of the pins. Heated badge from front with hot air gun, used dental floss sawing action to loosed self adhesive pads bedind badge, then gently levered badge off with screw driver protecting chrome with a rag. Stuck new badge on an used sonme silicone adhesive on pins to secure. Thanks for your help.

My plan is to replace with another skoda badge same as the one I will be removing.

Thanks all... will floss the grill badge later in the week and let you know how I get on.

Have just aquired an Octavia 2.0 Tdi and really impressed with everything so far. I want to renew the front Skoda badge as its the only thing on the car that looks it's age. I've checked through previous threads and cannot seem to find any advice on how to remove the front badge. As the chrome grill surround is made of plastic I am reluctant to lever badge off with a screwdriver etc. Any advice would be gratefully received.:confused:
