Exclamation Porsche 951 emblem removal and installation problem

Hi all,
I bought a new 951, and I also bought a new crest emblem 6 months ago for my N/A, but never got a chance to install it.
So I think my 951 is gonna look great with a new crest, but I was looking for an access under the front and could not get access to unpin the original crest.
Does anybody know a solution, without starting taking car parts apart, and without scrathing my paint?

Thanks

The crest on the header panel(part between the headlights) is easy to remove. Just use a small screw driver and pry it up. It is pretty must just barley held on so It is pretty easy to remove

an old credit card helps...
slide it under first, then put the thin screwdriver between it and the badge
wiggle it, moving it from side to side, it will lift up, then you can pull it off
2 pegs in grommets...

Mine had speed nuts on the back. As I was removeing the header panel to paint the car, I did it then. From reading the prior replies, I'm almost inferring mine is an oddity?

not sure, just had mine off to polish the car
polished the badge too and siliconed the gasket
I used a toothpick to get the gasket situated correctly
