Remove rear MG Electric badge

[dhoogland]

I recently upgraded the front MG4 emblem with a sleek black version, and it looks fantastic. However, I've started to find the "MG Electric" badge on the trunk slightly irritating. Has anyone discovered a safe method to remove it?

Moreover, I'm interested in finding a replacement for it, specifically just the text "MG4" in black. I recall seeing a photo of this badge posted on the forum, but I'm struggling to locate it now. Does anyone know where these are available for purchase?

That would be a good middle option. How did you remove the badges without damaging the paint? Do you happen to have any pictures?

I've used a hair-dryer and dental floss in the past.
Get the "sticky" remains off with Autoglym Tar remover. (Or a bit of petrol if easier)
Lots of videos on YouTube with many variations on the theme.

I removed mine and sprayed the MG4 black. Much cleaner and fits in the with the car better overall IMHO

I used a hair dryer to gently warm the area, then a thin fishing line to work off the badge by drawing the line through behind the badge. Firstly I masked the area with low tack tape just to get the positioning of the original badge when I re-applied.

Excellent job! Looks great.

Also, as a note. If anyone wants to attempt this. I used the tape below to re-fix the letters. The tape is double sided and has a slight sponge like effect, which absorbs vibration as the car moves.Hence helps to prevent the badge working loose.
