If you are referring to the 'Renault' and 'Sport' badges, I just got a credit card behind them and wedged them off, they are stuck on so you just need to pry them off

Obviously take car not to scratch the paint!

Heatgun/hairdryer

+1 hairdryer

what does the hair dryer do?? do i need any form of soap to get the sticky stuff off

 

[Needster]

Heating it up loosens the glue which holds them onto the car, shouldn't be any/much residue if you do it this way. Simply yoinking them off could damage the paint. There might be some marks on the paint where they old ones have been which may need a little SRP or something, but should bereet.

/\ it heats the glue making it easier to pull off

Dare I say it, Ive used t cut on the gluey bit.

+1 on the hairdryer.

Also any glue left behind, use a rag and some WD40, turps or white spirit (just use enough to dampen the rag in a small patch).........glue should come straight off.......and make sure the surface is clean before putting the new ones on.

Wipe off as much T-cut as you can then get some spirit etc on it.

[Needster]

Some are pinned, iirc.

[Needster]

Not sure, I *think* JME's were pinned on... Maybe ask him what model he's got?

sounds like a plan!

.J.a.m.e.s. what model/year is this your taking the badges off?..

 

[Needster]

^ Looks like the OP will be taking them off a 182. I'm just assisting with comments, innit.

Hes not taking the clio badge off just the renault sport badge. Clio badges are pinned.

To clear this up:

Ph2 clios: Clio badge pinned, rest stuck on.
Ph1 clios: Clio and Renault badges pinned, sport stuck on.

Hai knowledge.

edit; Oh and this applies to non/rs clios alike.

 

[Needster]

Forearms to the rescue.
