Anyway in particular to do this? Some tooth floss to cut throw the glue then maybe a hair dryer and tar remover to get rid of the glue residue?
A friend says it will devalue the car, but I think the giant "P O R S C H E" letters on the back look awful especially when next to the lovely italic Cayman S badge.

Ok so I debadged the car.
I used some dental floss which cut through the glue very easily, I then tried using tardis to remove the glue but it didn't really work.
I then tried using a caramel/toffee wheel and this effective but my drill battery was knackered, in the end I got the remaining glue off with a nibbing tool used to scrape off excess paint and then I finished it off with a machine polish.
I would say dont use the nibbing tool though as it has damaged the paint slightly, but not really noticeable unless you look specifically.
I am happy with the new look though, now the appalling P O R S C H E has gone.

Just to let people know who may be considering this, I have since gone back on my previous thoughts.
I regret doing the debadge as the rear looks a bit bare and the Cayman S badge i left looks lost.
But AT £65 I wont be replacing it, oh well at least the tail gate is easy to keep clean.
