There are no holes behind the door and boot badges.
Just get your hairdryer out and an old credit card or something with an edge and work them off. You might need some white spirit for the glue that gets left behind, but give it a good scrub and a clean and then everything will be fine. Remember that for a few days you're gonna have the lighter colour behind the badges though

most garages have summit called a caramel wheel which takes all the glue off in seconds + buffs the paint underneath as well.

To be fair you'd have to do something pretty clever with methylated/white spirit to damage the paint - I used it about twice and had no noticeable effects... two months later and everything is till a-ok
