First we need to detach the front. With a strong knife work between the chromed plastic and backing to prise the front away from the back.

You will get to the last one and it will be stiff. What you need to do now is flip the badge over and unclip the 2 clips in the centre of the badge.

Once you have done this the last clip around the edge will be easy to lift.

Now, gently heat the edge of the wrap so it goes soft and ease the wrap over the edges of the chrome badge.

Make incisions from the corners to the middle of each hole. Fold the wrap back over. Use a heat source to soften the wrap to make it easier.

Should end up looking like this. Getting the bit between the V and the W and around the edge of the whole badge to stick is a pain
