Mine was the same - lugs and sticky.

I assume you mean the chrome one?  Sticky pads & three plastic lugs, easy to slice off with a cheese wire.

Debadged mine recently (now badged as Opel all round inside and out) and I found the easiest way was to pour very very hot (not boiling) water over the badge.

That softens the glue enough for them to just then gently prise off with a credit card (American Express will do nicely)

think it might just stay on now tho as there will be holes left from the locating pins.

but if i get a rear spoiler when getting it sprayed i mite ask nicely uf hed touch in the handle if i put a bit of filler over the holes
