Default grill badge

When I bought my car (R75 facelift) about a year ago the previous owner had very decently replaced the front grill badge, so it was nice and pristine.

However, since then it went all dull and almost unreadable through a sort of milkyness, which normal cleaning didn't remove.

Today I used some rubbing compound on it, which cleared the milkyness off the outer surface ok, but revealed that the badge seems to have delaminated slightly, as can be seem in the picture - the brighter red patch is where water has got in.

As it was not bought by me, I don't know whether the badge was OEM or replica, nor do I know whether a replacement eg from Rimmers https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001816 would quickly go the same way.

Any advice please?
