The 2.0l badges have clips on them, you have to take off the bumpstrip by sliding it towards the back of the car and then unclip the badge once its off. Just 3 clips its very easy. Not sure about the other badges

2 screws on front badge...off hand i dunno wether you can access without taking bumper off. Bumper off is a 10 min job anyways so...

^ both wrong.

side badges will pull off WITHOUT removing the bump strips - just literally pull them off.

the silver 'diamond' will pull off the plastic backing, as its attached with typical plastic push-fit clips - so bumper doesnt need removing, or any screws touching.

rear badge, needs the door cover removed, and then unscrewing from the inside.

 

[Josh@Renparts]

pulling the side badges off without removing the bump strips will usually cause the frontal clip to snap. I know this becuase thats what my paint guy did when he colour coded them, the cunnok.

cheers lads, ill let you know how much damage i cause...

middo is correct, i've done both many times and am yet to cause any damage.
Although the rear 'diamond' is a pain cos it's linked to the boot lock/push button thingie that has to be removed also.
