How do you remove the rear badge?

I used Blitzen's method: Floss.

The badge is held on using tough double sided tape. As the badge itself if flimsy, you would not want to pull it off directly. Once its off, there are 3 rivet style connections where the chrome logo is attached to the circular backing: These can be drilled out easily, but DONT USE ANY FORCE as the drill tears through the plastic in a few revolutions.

I kept snapping the Floss, i'm sure a fishing line would have worked better.

Bunnings (am I the new troll?) has good weatherproof double sided tape for reattaching. I used it to hold up lights in my bathroom of the place we were renting, so holding on the badge will be no problem.

Before using the dental floss/fishing line, heat the badge up with a hair dryer (hot setting) to soften the backing tape. I've debadged a lot of cars and never had a problem with paint damage using a dryer.
