Hi guys, i recently stuck a 325i badge on my e46 sedan and when i was sticking on the "2" my hand slipped and i need to take it back off so i can re stick it on perfectly aligned. whats an easy way of taking it off without damaging the paint? it came with adhesive and i just stuck is straight on.

Dental floss works really well.

Try some heat too. It will soften up the adhesive...not too much obviously. Hair dryers usually work well.

blow dryer and dental floss... dont forget to set up masking tape under the numbers to keep the line straight

Use a hairdryer and spray WD40 on it, hair dryer again for another minute. Then get some fishing line,string or dental floss. Should come off easily, be careful taking it off, cut it as close to the car as you can. Then use WD40 and a rag and rub where the badge was. Might take a few times to get it all the glue like stuff off. Then wax. Then finished! wouldnt know it was there.
