I managed to get it off with no damage, plus my new emblem has a bit of a rubber border around it too, which covers the perimemter a little. I'm very pleased with it.
Ok great! I will probably plan on doing it myself since its so expensive for a dealer to do it. Thanks for your help!
I can't believe they are peeling though! I mean its only an 05 and the car had always been garaged with the previous owners. Weird...
