Default Replacement R Design inserts?

Apologies if this is in the wrong section. I'm in need of a replacement R-Design grille badge (or sticker insert preferably...) for my 09 reg C30, because it has become badly faded. I don't fancy paying the £40 the dealer is asking, especially seeing as how the actual body of the badge is sound. Does anyone know where I can buy one? For reference, this is what I'm talking about -




Ideally, I'd like to just replace the sticker insert rather than the entire thing. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
Michael.

I noticed those earlier, however wouldn't fitting one mean me having to remove the entire thing, bracket etc? Or would that just stick over the top of the pre-existing badge?

Cheers.

It’d be a grill off jobby. There are people out there that do copies of the Sticker itself but I haven’t seen em for a while. I think Volvo have been going round and stamping out companies who have been doing copies.

I've just done a quick search and found that forum member SouthWestWanderer was doing them a while ago. I'll send him a message. Fingers crossed.

One of these is exactly what I'm after -
