If it's just a normal sticky back badge then just heat it up gently with a hair dryer and slowly peel it off...

Just be careful not to damage or fade the paint

You need to get the car in either mk1 or mk2 format though, it just doesnt look right mixed around. That said, it looks decent enough. As for the niggley problems, welcome to Nova Ownership!!

Been thinking that m8 but to be honest the misses likes the mk1 front bumper and if she is happy then i get to spend money on it.:D
