..quite happy with how it went, and looks alot better in my opinion.
Before -

After -

but there is one bit i need help with, the badges came off ok as did the main bit of glue stuff

, but all that is left now is a clear outline of where the glue was/still is
you can sort of see it in this pic -

any help as to how to get rid of this would be muchly appreciated

polish can get it off, failing that some meths shud be ok or the tar and bug remover someone else suggested.

if nothing shifts it use a cutting compound like g3

there is a proper way of removing the irritating marks which no-one has mentioned, if you're friendly with any bodyshop people or mechanix they have a proper tool its circular and made out of rubber but for christ sakes dont use a blade you will damage the paint
