Man, I wish you could just order a Clubman with that color configuration! Looks so much better IMO!!

It's actually pretty simple: take a short strand of dental floss and tie a wooden dowel to each end. Slip it under and gently pull so that it slides between the glue and car body. That's what everyone else tells me at work when I asked them how they took their badges off. However, you can NOT "slice" off the MINI logo on the hood. It's attached by two holes drilled into the hood. Just watch a MINI assembly video on Youtube to see how it was attached.

there are no holes after the badges, i just used a fohn ( hairdryer) and heated up the badges. then you just pull off the badges from the car.
to clean off the rest off the glue i clayed en waxed the doors.

I do... However, I don't have access to it right now (as I'm not on my own computer at the moment).

Later though... I'll hook you up.
