Does anybody know how to remove the emblems located on the front and back without damaging the paint? They appeared to be glued on.

 

Dental floss works great...

Just in case you don't already know. . .

The MINI wings badges have locating pins in them so if you remove them you will be left with 2 holes where the badges were.

The "Cooper" lettering on the back comes off with dental floss (the real stuff, not Glide or tape). some foam tape residue might remain which can be rubbed off or encouraged with a little goo-gone. . .

 

To assist in removing the emblems (with foam tape) you can first hit them with a hair dryer for a few mintues to soften up the tape. Especially now that it's winter time the tape can be difficult to saw thru with the dental floss. Some people say use a heat gun, but you could damage the paint if you weren't careful. A hairdryer shouldn't get hot enough to cause a paint problem.

In the summer, you can just leave the car in the sun for a few hours so it gets good and soft as well.

Goo-Gone works well to get ride of the residue when you're finished.
