Use an 8mm socket on the underside (2x tapping nuts). Unscrew them while gently pulling the crest from the top.

Also you'll likely have to unscrew the hood locking mechanism to get access. Swapped out a Silver Crest for the OEM one on my wife's and had to do that to get to the tapping nuts/screws. Looks nice tho.

Sometimes unscrewing won't work, and you'll need to put something underneath the badge to pry up on it. A piece of strong string might do the trick.
