I'm thinking your going to better off trying to find a new tailgate in RB rather than paying for a respray? Then again I may be talking out my Harris.
Stick them back on lol

Respray time
You can remove the new style badge and simply re-apply some double sided tape and stick back down.
I used some strong silicone for mine, I was to lazy to cut around it

get a heat gun to remove your new badge this time though and yeah respray which is gonna be around 150-200 mark i think maybe cheaper.
Might be worth PM'ing SprayShack for a quote

Wouldn't a second hand boot be cheaper?
B*gger, always use the string technique for cutting them off!. Saving grace is its RB, probably one of the easiest colours to match to, we would be £150 + VAT if you were a tad more local!......
Please dont on the drive *smart* repair that........you'll end up with a car covered in over spray and probably flaking paint a few years on.
~£30 for a second hand boot.............but finding it in the right colour..........rockinghorse poop.

lucky boy, renparts are awesome, mind you have to cut the loom right?, unless i was strapped for £ id be spraying it. £15 to deliver that though and get it there in one piece is highly optimistic lol, corner reinforcers, half roll of bubble wrap, and might have a chance. We had one delivered to us recenty, packed well, still rolled the lip on the lower edge.

Cut what loom?
boot to car, else i guess its a pull it back job out the boot bit and worry about feeding it back later. The heated rear etc i imagine is tricky feed in
Piece of piss - tie some string to the passenger heater connector - and to the lock/wiper connector - pull them out then just tape the string in place
When you want to re-fit just tie the string to the loom and use it to pull the loom back in
Had the boot off mine a few times now for roll cage fitting and interior paint

might try that aswell, I like the string thing, as the string cuts the glue foam stuff like a saw, anything that trys to lever the badge off could end in tears esp if its been repainted andthe primer not sanded before base coat or some other reason for poor adhesion.
