I'm expecting a copy.  I just want something relatively cheap that looks the same to replace my current badge when I remove it.
And it arrived today, looks indistiguishable from the original - though that may not be OEM either as it's in the wrong place.....
If it comes off cleanly and looks OK after tidying up I'll put it back on again, but what do people recommend for fixing?
FYI the spacing between the S and 8 on the "clone" badge is about 4mm horizontally at the "back" of the characters where they fix to the bonnet. (MJ's looks about 7mm)
It doesn't have any positioning information but there is a sticky transparent film on top to maintain alignment between the two parts when fixing.
