the badge on the bootlock has pins on it too.
take the bootlock off (2 or 3 bolts on the inside) and i think you can push the badge out from behind iirc
if the new badge is the correct size leave the pins on and it should just pop straight in

yeah you need to pull that material off the inside of the boot, it needs a good yank because the plastic pins are gay. you can then see the back of the bootlock
you need an 8mm socket i think. take the bootlock off using the 2/3 nuts, disattach the lock mechanism so you can remove it properly
just do it and use a bit of common sense and have a look how the badge comes off

just pull it, no need to go down the de-badge root, like boiling water, then credit card it off etc?
