Not much has happened in the V8 world....
Decided to sort the front badge using one of these

I picked the hottest day possible
Drill 4 holes opposite each other
Using a pointed tool, GENTLY lever it all the way round
Pull it off
Clean off old adhesive with a drop of petrol
Affix new badge, and stand back and admire
