So much better! I don't mind the OEM blue but it stands out like a sore thumb!

Can't wait until its dry and properly attached. You said you used superglue to stick the chrome surround back to the badge... Does it eat into the fresh paint? I don't want to destroy it already!

I waited 24hrs before super glueing the badge to the chrome surround. No effect what so ever on the paint, well not on the paint I used.

Proper Loctite superglue. Not $2 superglue. :P

Patience pays off ;) Superglue works a treat!

Silicon the best way to stick the badge back on? I can never seem to get decent double sided tape from anywhere!

Yeh, my rear one is just siliconed back on. You'll have to not drive the car til it cures though. I left mine o/night.

if heat is applied can the badge be removed once siliconed down?

Yes. Just use normal clear silicon as a blob in the centre. I taped my badge down o/night also.

You'll be able to remove it if desired later.

That's interesting because silicon isn't glue based - it's a filler...
