Badges are glued on with some sort of putty/silicone type substance.
Use a hairdryer to warm it up or leave the car in the sun for a while.
When the putty is soft use fishing line or something similar and gently saw through it.
Caution there are 2 pins behind both front and rear badges so be careful as not to break em. After that i rebadged with double sided autotape

do the pins go through the metal? I wouldn't want to leave any visible holes
