The ones on the side that say MORRIS 1000.
Has anyone got a technique for removing them without breaking the little pins that hold them on?

I used lots of WD40 and pushed them in further before very gently wiggling and extracting, but the penetrating spray made a big difference, spray them and leave them for a day, then spray them again and see if it works...good luck

Grab them with a pair of pliers gently and twist. You can get news ones if you break them though.

Right, I've started soaking them and I'll attack them with the pliers at the weekend.
Anything to know about refitting them?

Carefully with new spring clips.

I used short lengths of rubber tubing pushed on from the back. There are also proper badge fixings that are plastic which you push into the hole in the bonnet ( you will have to enlarge the hole ) and then you push the badge in

Is that rubber tube with a tiny hole, or do you make a hole in the side with the pin?

I stripped some outer covering from electric cable and pushed over the end of the pins
There are some of the proper fixings at this web address

The part looks like this you could push these over the pins without making the hole in the bonnet larger
