Pressure washers are vicious my Kartcher will take the paint off if you turn the steam on.

What’s the underside like? Can you give a precise measurement of the recess?

We are in the process of getting color badges for that very spot but have not yet seen what’s under the factory badge. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Sort off topic but on topic if you see what I mean the plastic kick plates on the door sills are only held on by VHB so I. take it the badge on the bonnet is thee same.

I've seen only one badge off and it was on Facebook with someone getting a wrap. It's 3m tape with two pins

It always seems to be the rears that do this...

@Krabby:
Maybe that will help. However, I am currently on vacation without a Grenadier. I can measure the old plaque at home.

Difficult to tell, I got the impression that what had come off was an enamel very thin cover to the section that fits into the bonnet slot. So this thin cover is only held on by some not so good double sided sticky tape, not 3M quality, and positioned by two very small 1mm pins. There is no recess for this cover as such just a 1mm rim on the cover to hold it in place. Unfortunately I had gorilla glued it back before I picked up your thread otherwise I could have investigated further.

I have had one of the Ineos badges fall off one of the wheels as well as the red rear bumper reflector which I had to replace. You can find them on Amazon are most parts places online as they are an off the shelf Hella part.
I think they are not cleaning the area properly before application.

Makes you wonder what else is held together using the same technique

I have never used a pressure washer on the painted surface of a car. Just be careful man! Those are for the undercarriage only. I know it is tempting to shoot that bad boy at the body, but don’t!

VHB is used to hold on all sorts of pieces on lots of vehicles in the past 20-25 years...

Non-helpful comment... It's on my list

I want to be certain it’s just a decal with no holes. I assume it is, but was hoping someone knew for certain.

Check for me and post back

Any updates on the rear INEOS badge? I would love to remove it if it is just held on by adhesive.
