Default How to remove front wing trim piece?

I need to replace Audi-emblems on front wing trim pieces as they are starting to peel off. I need to remove the whole trim piece to replace the emblems.

Looking at pictures and repair manual, I am still not sure, does it just pull off? Is there any clips etc. I need to replace in the process? I wouldn't like to break anything

It's clipped on with pegs through plastic bungs. Prise it off from the back:



I'll try and remember to get a pic of the back when I'm in the workshop later.

I drove mine into a bollard in Asda’s car park and this bit of trim came off a treat! ��

Drove mine (the PF) rather fast through a very big roadside puddle many years ago and it came off. Spotted that when parking later.
Went back in daylight the next day, found it and clipped it back on.
