Looks much better without it there. The Toyota badge looks like an afterthought.

so interesting!! the hair dryer does not damage paint at all???

Nah, the paint itself doesnt really heat up that much. I used the hair dryer on medium heat for a couple of mins, wasnt doing much, so turned it up to full, another few mins and it started to move with a bit of wedging. Eventually pulled at one end and gently removed it. Little excess glue was easy to remove.

Will wait until I get mine to see if I want to do this or not, but more than likely will.

I have been told that dental floss is the best thing to slide under to remove it as it is less likely to damage paintwork.
