Default Replacing the badges

The rear XJR badge on my car is looking a bit worn, and is actually missing a bit of the green part, so I've been thinking of replacing it. The only one I can find is on adamesh.co.uk, and their price is steep. That's life, right?

Anyway, does anyone know how the original badges are attached? Is it adhesive?

Double sided foam tape. Available at autoparts stores for that purpose. A bit of fishing line works well for removing them and some paint cleaner or adhesive remover to finish it up.

Thanks! I was hoping that was the case.

I'll keep my eyes on eBay and hold off buying from adamesh for now.

Thanks for the heads-up! I need the rear badge, but I may pick these up anyway for future replacement.

I got a new trunk lock badge from Welsh. Perhaps they carry other badges as well. Let's hope so, as their prices are usually a bit better than other after Mkt suppliers. Don't rely on their on line catalog. It's a bit slap dash. Call em. Ask for Herky.

You know, I think I might do this and give the look a few weeks to see if it grows on me.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.
