Just ordered a new MG badge for the back of my wifes MGF, anyone else changed these and know of an easy way to remove the old one without any risk of scratching the bodywork? Cheers.

To remove the old badge, heat it up with a hairdryer and then prise it off with something flat and non metallic. A plastic spatula or credit card will do the job.
You can also use fishing line behind the back, but there are two pegs on the back that you have to watch out for.
Its worth giving the new badge a couple of coats of lacquer before it goes on to stop it delaminating, as this is a common problem with latter badges, though F badges don't seem to suffer from it as much as TF badges.
