I'll post my own pics when they arrive for sure, but happy to take a £14 punt based on this...

I don't think so. I presume it's a special pressed metal piece or something? Mine is doing the same but I just live with it.

My rear badge is fading too though, so I'm keen to go the decal route when I see how it turns out for you guys!
They pop out buddy
Simple job if flat head driver down and under
Replaced all badges on my car and makes a massive difference
I was talking about the engine badge there - it's a metal foil applied to the engine cover. M badges are stupidly expensive, so just replacing the coloured sticker is a great solution for them!
That's what I mean buddy
It's simply pop out with a screw driver
I just bought the lot from dealer
Not cheap but not putting eBay cheap ones on my car
Sticker over where old lines are sounds good though

Oh apologies, mate! I was certain that the engine badge was a pressed foil treatment to the engine cover itself and not available separately! Still, the genuine price is a bit much to stomach :/

Just recived and fitted my set, for a tenner it makes the world of difference!

Maybe worth giving them a good coating of sealent/wax/uv protectant to stop them goign the same way in the future.

Arrived today (took about 2 weeks) but not fitted.

When I first opened them I thought the reds looked too burgandy! But then googled a genuine OEM Badge and it actually looks quite similar. Perhaps my original badges have faded more than I realised. Pics below:

Cheers mate! I believe that red paint physically fades the fastest in sunlight, so that may be the case here too.

In the photo on the Never Done site the sticker looks like it has a kind of orange peel texture. What are yours like?

Perhaps a bit of a peely texture but very slight. The main test will be in the fitting, will try them this week.

Nope. It's a weekend job along with washing the car.
Been trying to sort out renting the house so have been distracted. Priorities all wrong clearly.

Here we go, before and after pics. This is the rear badge but all the same.
Peel off, use nail polish remover to clear the sticky residue, apply. Total 2 mins per badge.

Thanks for updating Beanitos!

I know I'm being really anal but the orange-peel finish of the sticker is bugging me. I know it's not going to be noticeable other then when specifically looking for it though...
