How do you get the Maserati badge off the boot, and the V8 badges off the sides please?

I don't believe any of the scripts are pinned, post 1995, just the bonnet emblem. In which case a thin strong wire can be drawn behind the badge without touching the paint but cutting through the foam then clean off the residue with spirit (panel wipe).

I have a strong suspicion the Maserati logo on boot lid is bolted through - think it maybe worth removing the inner boot cover to check first !

It could well be, I haven't ever taken one off a modern Maserati, plenty of other cars though and the cheese wire route works very well especially on thinner panelled cars that can dent if you try just pulling them off!

The one on the boot is definitely bolted through. It can be accessed by removing the inner liner of the boot lid. The logo's on the side (near fuel cap) are glued on and can be removed with a hairdryer. Blow some hot air towards the logo for 2 minutes and then gently start pulling it off.

I took my script off earlier in the year.
If its a classico 02-03 it will be bolted with little nuts.
Later ones are pinned with push on tabs.
Guess which ones are more expensive!
I replaced my tarnished steel chromed bolted for the 90% cheaper polished aluminium pinned one. The holes are in the same place...however I believe the facelift/GS are a different size being bigger.

I would guess it will be the same as the early 4200, made of proper stuff and bolted like mine was!
Pop off the boot lid lining and you can get a little socket set behind easily.

5.5 mm nuts, 3 of, easy peasy lemon squeezy!
