Debadging Rear Panel

After searching the forums and reading some tips, I was wondering if any of you that debadged your Cooper S badge from the back of your cars had any problem, and what would be the most efficient and painless way to remove them without damaging the paint.

I'd like to remove the dealer badge as well (forgot to tell them not to advertise on my car!) From the sounds of it, blow drying the surface of the car around where the vinyl dealer badge is will enable me to peel the letters off? Would this technique work well with the Cooper badge? I have never done this before on any type of car, so I'm very nervous of ruining my baby.

Thanks for any help!

let the car sit out in the sun to get everything warm, get some dental floss, and "saw" it behind the badges. they should come right off - you won't need the hair dryer or heat gun if it's a warm day.
