heated the badges so that the glue became soft then peeled off gently, dont use anything to prise it off though as you well prob damage paint.
Then clean off the excess glue with a small amount of white spirit then polish, job done, its really easy mate, looks much better too 
Cool. I'll lend my sisters hairdryer and have a go. Looks better with no badges i think. What have you done with your old wheels?

My 328 is good on fuel economy, depends how you drive it. I only put £40/50 in a week. It will take a 106 GTi to pieces if required.

Its really not bad if you just trundle around in it, I drove from stevenage to Reading and used about 1/4 of a tank. And that was blasting round the M25. I couldn't tell you the standard MPG. I think the reviews have it down as 20mpg round town and 30 on the motorway, but its more on a motorway if you just sit at 70 in 5th.

The 328 is probably more economical than the 325 as an everyday car because it has more torque in the midrange. the 325 has a higher lift cam and needs its neck ringed to get it moving.
