Just bought my 1st skoda octy vrs mk1 very impressed.

I would get a flat head screw driver really thin one put something soft ie a thin sponge next to the badge and gentle pry it and go round it bit by bit the get autoglym tar n glue remover after u have removed it to take any residue off.well thts wat uv done before and work might be simpler ways to do it mate

It is always a good idea to warm the badge with a hair dryer to soften the adhesive before you start - makes it much easier to remove.

Another option is to use a nylon fishing line drawn back and forth in a sawing motion, eliminates the possibility of scratching 

paintwork if you slip with the screwdriver !!!

I used dental floss

But the shadowing takes dome sorting

I have been round with fishing line but the 2 plastic pegs seem to be holding in place still.

I used a heat gun on low for a while and then got my fingernails in to lift it up enough to get a cable tie under and then pull and wiggle in a downward movement so the cable tie wasnt actually touching the paint work.

the harder bit is getting the sticky mess off after but as I didnt have any chemicals to get it off I just kept warming it up and rubbing with a cloth

So is it just some sort of glue holding the badge on? Im thinking of debadging the rear of mine but not if im only going to be met with holes?

[Volvomeg]

The centre skoda badge has holes behind it, the octavia and vrs badges don't

[mushtafa]

I have two holes under my badge. I had to put it back on

Cheers volvo think i may skip that idea then

3 pins? How strange. There's only 2 holes for each at 9 and 3 o'clock. As long as they're there...Then again they only help to centralise and square up the badge so if you have to cut any off don't worry too much, just have a steady hand. What size are they?
