New one ordered here as well, and a new centre badge which because I’m still about 18-ish in the head I will illuminate the inside of the badge 🤣😎

Now you only need the licence plate holders and you will be R all around

So my r design badge on my C30 was all faded. I looked around and managed to find a polydome r design badge which should just fit into the original surround.

So I ordered it, it arrived and I have been waiting for a dry day.. Well it is sunny in Sheffield today so i thought I would work off the carvery lunch with a spot of diy.

The instructions which came with the sticker said to place it over the original. I had read elsewhere that it could be removed so I did just that.

I used a precision tiny flat head bit and pried it up at the bottom corner of the R. It lifted and i was able to use my fingers to gently pull it away from the plastic backing.

Once off, i gave the badge surround a thorough clean with some white spirits. Once dry i went on to apply the new shiney r design logo.

The front end finally looks right. I don't know why it bugged me so much but now I am really pleased with the result.. I have attached some photos
