I saw on someone else's post that you have to pull and twist but I tried on mine and I can't seem to do it but I don't want to break it lol, you should try and see if it works for you.

You need to take the grille off first.
Two screws and then there are four holes across the top of the bonnet catch cover, prod these down and the clips will free out the top of the grille. Then pull out the top clips firmly and look inside the grille to the bottom. There are another set of clips at the bottom (not with holes!) that need pulling up to release the grille completely. Once you've done this the badge can be removed in it's housing from the rear by gently, but firmly releasing the platic clips and turning the badge clockwise (as you look at it from the front) about an 1/8th of a turn. If you want to separate the badge from it's housing then you need to be VERY careful at releasing the small clips one by one (you will break some!) but as long as the majority remain intact you are good to go.
