Replacing bootlid badge on e89

This forum rocks ..finally found time to fit badge

A) carefully using a scraper to loosen the edges of the old badge
B) Once enough leeway, used a credit card to slowly work into the centre of the badge
C) The badge will loosen enough to come off (the adhesive is like a donut ring shape)
D) clean out the old Adhesive (I experimented scouring pad, T Cut etc ended up using alcholol
E) fitted new badge, easy peasy to line up straight ...

Looks a lot better,will try bonnet badge next !

Just bare in mind the bonnet badges have little self tapping nuts on them before you go trying to lever it off
