How to remove (or not) the Karmann badge on the door post
My car is about to go for blasting, this is the last bit left attached and I don't want to trash it. Is there an easy way to remove the plate? those 4 pins look solid. Failing that its a careful mask up required

The pins are like small nails, they should pull straight out. New ones are available.

Can you get a grip on the heads, or do they lever out from behind? Heads look domed so I am guessing some gentle leverage to start them off?

I eased mine out by putting a craft knife blade under the badge working at each corner in turn, little by little. Came out quite easily actually.
