The wheels can be replaced by changing the hub centre, the front and rear ones can be 'got at' by heating with a hairdryer and digging out with a small flat head screw driver - well that what I ended up doing anyway Thumbs Up

Have you brought them yet?, Nick at Yeovil does a good price, cheaper than Ebay Shocked Thumbs Up My Youtube Channel http://www.youtube.com/user/NeilDisco#p/u/5/Dz4-Q95GQ2c

Use a finger nail, if not a small flat head, should pop off real easy Thumbs Up

Grill and rear handle badges can be taken off with a posi-drive screw through the middle, it lists the badge without risk of painted surfaces getting damaged.

Just a hint I picked up when doing the same and found on the forum

Ive just badged my D4, i did the steering wheel also.
Its not bad to get out really, it made of metal/tin so its a bit fiddley because it has 4 small tabs that are folded round through the plastic of the airbag.

I start at one end with a small screw driver and lift it, then you will see the tabs just keep prising it upwards and it will come off.some times the tabs brake off and stay in the wheel but the new badge covers it.
I glue the new badge on with some windscreen sealer or simlar.

For the rear and grill badges i pour a hot kettle or water over them and it turns the badge into mush lol and it just pulls off like toffee.
