Use heat- either a hairdryer or a paint-stripping gun (very carefully, at
the lowest setting, and not too close to the paintwork). When the glue gets
hot, it lets go much easier.
Watch out: everything, badge and paintwork included- will be hot. For
standard Audi badges, I use nylon cord to 'cut' the badge away from the
panel. Just take a piece of cord in both hands and 'saw' the badge off.

Do not clean or T-cut the paint when it's still hot!

HTH,

Tom (we need a lot less badges than Mr. Audi seems to think)

have to touch to be sure.
