Turn the old badge anti-clockwise 30 degrees or so and it will click then pull out. Fitting new badge is reverse.

If it doesn't want to twist then I suggest you remove the grill to get access to the clips/tabs at the badge's rear. Failure to do so my result in you breaking one or more of the retaining tabs whilst trying to remove it.

In that case it would be easier to remove the front grille!  :happy2: It's a two minute job in itself!  :wink:

Just ordered one for myself! Has anyone done the rear one? The black one from the same company appears to be a decal / sticker?
