Need Some Help!!
How in the world do I take the front badge off the F-Sport I tried to pry it off but there is no way it just comes off. Please help your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Note: Not rear badge the front grill badge.

Use fishing line or dental floss to break the adhesive.

Which front emblem? The fender right?

The L emblem? I think it's held by clips or screws. U have to get behind the bumper to see it.

Unless you have enough room to work, I would second that you'd be better off removing the grille.
I swapped the grille on our LX years ago (a pebble did a number on the original) and transferring the emblem (and front camera) was a time consuming process, but definitely doable. It took a lot of patience... and this is where having some extra space comes in handy. The pins that the washers clamp on to on the emblem are plastic, and breaking them would be a pity.
Congrats on the new car, too, BTW!

The threads that talk about removing the front L emblem talk about the clips in the back.
Apparently you just have to get new clips because it's difficult to remove the emblem without snapping the clips. Some guys reported that they pried it open gently, and then used pliers to clamp it back down. Not perfect, but good enough. I personally haven't done it yet, but that's what I gathered from what I read.
It's like 50 cents on sewell...maybe if you call the local parts department they might have them for cheap enough? Good luck.
