Front? I didn't have to remove the bumper just the piece of trim along the top edge which allows you to access the rear of the grille. I've got large hands and I managed to get inside and release the clips!

You can clip them out carefully, ive done that in front and back, painted them black and installed back, no additional dismantle needed.

Can you explain in more detail please?

You take something thin and made from material that dont do harm, and carefully try to put it under the S chrome parts, and pull the clips loose step by step. Front one was easier, as the badge is bigger and the gap where to start from was bigger also. Hope it was helpful.

How many clips hold the symbol and in what locations?

Hard to tell, they are not exactly the clips, more like very little plastic parts what goes inside the black part under the S chrome parts. There was about 4-6 for each chrome parts but i cant say what locations, dont remember. Actually its not that big of a deal if you are going to remove it gently, trust me :)

@Redline...hope this picture shows you where the clips are to remove S logo. I used a plastic trim tool and and gently prized it off and wrapped my front badge. I purchased a new boot badge but they come off the same way. The trick is to be very gentle because the clips are very small.

Can’t you just wrap them like on my car?

Little help here...

Attempted to wrap my front badge but it wasn’t very good so attempted to remove it’s per some instructions above... and failed as you’ll already be able to tell.

I managed to get 3 of the 4 side clips undone (I broke the last..) and can’t for the life of me get the top and bottom ones unlatched. Tried using a small screw driver and just my fingers with no luck..

Any advise would be more than welcomed.

Just for anybody still unsure how to remove the front badge it’s very simple done it today first time and didn’t break a single clip, in the photo which has the very bad arrows lol I just got a tiny flat head screw driver started where the arrows are and it just slipped of, when it starts to come off lean the top of the badge towards you and it’s slides out

Just a warning to anyone that tries this - I've just done this and all but one of the clips were glued in place, meaning they all snapped when removing them.

Not sure why they felt it necessary to do that, but they did it. Having a hell of a time finding a replacement part with the right clips, too!

suppose I was lucky having no glue on the back, I feel for you as I really didn’t want to break anything

Really baffled as to why they felt the need to glue the clips... what's the point in the clips if you're just going to glue it anyway?

Not too big of an issue - I can just glue them back on when I eventually hand the car back. But it's annoying because the little clips are so stuck in there that the replacements badges I'm ordering won't fit, so I'll have to snap the clips off and glue them in place...

I have this.
It's really thin foil and you need a heat gun.
Looks good but keeps some silver.

I've bought some of these and are just waiting for my car to be delivered before applying. Only trouble is I haven't got a heat gun. Instructions advise not to use a hairdryer but don't really fancy forking out for a heat gun.

Heat guns are pretty inexpensive. Screwfix do one at £11.99

What colour did u go for? I went for copper on mine, goes well on monsoon grey imo.
