it may leave some slightly sticky glue gunk,but it's easily removed with a bit of elbow grease,although it shouldn't be that bad seeing as you've got a corsa C

get an expired credit card, heat with a hair dryer (i didnt use this), i used a cloth with very hot water and left it on the badge for 1-2 minutes,

then use the credit card to remove the badge

and get a bug/tar remover to remove the glue (i used Gunk engine degreaser) or white spirit. If needed, re-use hot water for some more time on the glue

clean and nice

max 10mins

yeah thanks and tbh i took only 10mins to get it done

just use plenty of very hot water...it did the trick for me from the 'during' pic and 'after' pic above, you can see the difference hot water,Gunk and the card did

I almost left the '16v' badge too, but then opnions told me not to do it

Now, i'm thinking of removing the rubstrips...not too sure what to expect underneath them

If you do it, just warm letters up as said, remove them with credit card. I used a wallpaper scraper, cause im daring and know i wouldnt scratch it

Just remove the "Vauxhall" and "Corsa"

DO NOT remove the actual Vauxhall badge from the center, as it has a small hole underneath it, and then it looks wank.

Rip it off, and get a new one to put it somewhere else.

I had 'Vauxhall' 'Corsa' and '1.4' on mine, removed it all, and replace with an Irmscher lower down as shown:
