    Thumbs up

    Boil a kettle of water and then pour over the badge. It normally melts the gloue and the badge drops off without residue.

    I'm not a big fan of de-badging to be honest, always something my colleagues did with their 318s etc. to make folk think it was something better... but it does make room for a RICA decal or something similar.

    Btw - thats not an Irish number plate ... its a UK - Northern Ireland plate
