You can buy the oem badge trim tape from halfrauds or you could use some clear silicone sealant just put a few small dabs on the back of each letter i used some on my old mk3 rear vw badge and it was fine  :wink:

:grin: You'll see when you try and get your old stuff off best way is use a hairdryer but don't get to close to the paintwork then they come off easier
