Thanks. I wonder if it is possible to get a little Swedish flag to match the twin engine slanted badge?

Didn't take car to work today but will be taking it tomorrow, so will give them tomorrow if that's ok ? :-)

Wanted to enjoy the last dry weather on the motorbike!

Stepping back to the beginning, how did you remove the badge cleanly without damaging it or the car paintwork?

Pulled it with my fingers and twisted it a bit to get it off. Then rubbed the remaining adhesive with my fingers and finished with a bit of cutting polish and super resin polish. Best to work on a clean area too as any bits of grit will rub into the paintwork.

Apologies I’ve had to reduce the size of the pictures to get them to attach but you should be able to work it out. I know I’d a D5 not a T8 but I guess they’ll be in the same place. The line of the badge follows the line of the boot line above it.
Let me know if you need any more

I think I prefer the blue Polestar badge.

That's great thanks Skep. Btw not seen your new car yet, went past your place a couple of times lately but there has always been an XC60 on the drive
