Anyway, it has to come off, so I'll keep you posted.

I've got mine mounted on the mesh grill, so tomorrow when I get the car back I can look behind it and see how it's fastened. I think it's threaded and uses one of those flat, round fasteners that have the friction type edges for your fingers to grab onto. Probably has one of those bent tabs that grab the stem for a lock, but I'm not sure.
Is your badge corroded or damaged? They can be rehabed with new centers. Might be easier.

No threads, no nut, it is a simple star washer pressed over, as you pull it off it tries to dig in........ be forceful, you will bend it, I never bother with them.........
To take most off I put a knife under the badge, using the center boss as a pivot move the knife around the outside edge, this cuts all the tape, then pull the sucker until it comes off, if you want to be gentle, take the bumper off
I have done it.... too many times to remember
