sorry to say but i think you got robbed there Matt

i bought a new grill the other month after my 'slight incident' and swapped my badge straight over IIRC my badge is the thicker style

should look good when its all fitted

looking at bit rhys i think your right i took the grille off yesterday to remove the bumper ,had a look while off and it looks like you could clip the thinner badge into the older type fitting

all the clips are in the exact position

to late now i have primed it and got two coats of reflex silver done

hoping it will look good to rhys

more progress :
well today have managed to get 4 coats of matt black on and a coat of laquer to the front badge and to the sharan badge the rear of the sharan badge has had three coats of reflex silver and two coats of laquer so now all the badges are complete

waiting for the laquer to dry overnight and in the morning hope to get a couple of coats of silver on the grille will get some pics of the finished sharan and front badge up hopefully tomorrow
