Learn how to replace the original Skoda emblem with a black one. To remove it, heat the old badge while protecting the paint around it with masking tape. You will need a hairdryer to soften the adhesive that holds it; then, using a plastic lever to insert under the badge, carefully detach it. Remove all adhesive residue from the bodywork.

Clean the area well with isopropyl alcohol to degrease and ensure good adhesion. The new badge in this case is the painted badge itself, but if you want to avoid this hassle (or wish to keep the original badge in case you change your mind), you can easily find a black one on AliExpress with code 100500796666986 for £10.09, with free delivery.

Apply the new badge, which comes with adhesive, in line with the marks you made earlier, where you will reposition the badge. Position it accurately and press until it adheres well.
