**EDIT: just read it was for a grill, not sure, sorry about that.
I debadged my car
You will need:
Blowdryer
Gasoline (enough to fill a water bottle)
Dental Floss
Water
What you will do:
Blowdry letter by letter, putting the dental floss and jimmy-ing with it (as if your flossing your teeth). Careful though, you will burn your fingers abit, trust me, i know. lol
Thats basically how u get it off.
Then, to deal with the glue residue, you take a cloth and u damp it with the gasoline and you use some elbow grease.
Depending on how much glue, it might take 5 mins or 15mins.
Repeat process til the end.
Make sure you scrub hard to get rid of all the glue, or you'll be left with siding of your badge, which sucks.
You use the water to clean it up at the end or during the scrubbing to see where your at and to clean the surface.
Hope it goes well.
Its real easy.

Well I was looking to debadge the s80 on the trunk as well so thanks for that but the front grill will be a little bit more of a challenge. I've seen a picture of an s80 on sweedespeed, they took the grille completely out and maybe if I could get the grill out I could get the badge off easier?

Yes, the lettering is held by an adhesive so it should come off! BTW, if you manage to take the Volvo badge off the front in the next 5 days and are going to toss it, I am looking for one to change my old Volvo one for the updated one! Let me know if you're just going to toss it.........
I'm sure if I can get the grill out the badge would be easier to remove
