Fitting new front badge

[AeonMach]

Mine fell off!
Just want to check that I have a standard enough front grille to attach a new one to (see pic below) before I buy one (and that the old one wasn’t badly glued on or something!)
I have the carbon fibre look backing plate still btw. It had managed to fall down and get caught by the grille at the ACC radar!

I assume the badge clips in to those double and/or triple slotted holes yes? I’d seen pics of others with different bigger holes…

I was gonna order from VanStyle since they look fine. Anyone had issues with quality of those?

Excellent - thanks both @TeeCeeJay (photos in particular confirming much appreciated!) and @Linoleum Bonypart for the vote of confidence in VanStyle (and for making me lol at your most excellent username!)

Btw follow up question: did you have to take your whole grille off to fit it?

No, that's a pic of a spare one I had in the shed.
If it doesn't feel like the clips are engaging properly, you can remove the top fastening for the grille and get a hand down the back to add support, sometimes it can feel like you're putting too much pressure on before it clicks in place.

Smashing - top tip (I’d seen that elsewhere so good to get more confirmation that this isn’t going to turn into as DIY ballache!)
