Did that and it looks so much better. Tried with and without the leaper.




Of course, to go completely badgeless, you have to have the mounting holes filled.

Hairdryer to soften the glue, then dental floss or fishing line to saw the badge free. Then WD40 or whatever you prefer to remove the glue residue. The locating pins might require a bit of trickery to work around, though.

Yep, same method I used.
Best to come in with the floss/line from both sides and I found that I didn't need to saw all the way to the pins, got to about 1 cm short of the pins each side and the leaper then pulled off.
Be gentle when pulling/prying it off you don't want to bend it otherwise it could snap!

Thanks for that, but can someone with a 2021 P450 just let me know how far down from boot (trunk) line and how far across from number plate (license plate) aperture the 'P450' is set? Surely one of you boys with a P450 has a rule or tape measure?

Failing that, does your local dealer have one? Pop in for a measure!
