Default Front debadge R8
I just got installed the clear bra two weeks ago.
In order to install it, the front badge need it to be remove.
I was washing the car yesterday and it come off, looks like it wasn't that much glue there.
Does anybody know where I can find the right glue to put it back again?


Here is a picture of how it looks without the badge.

Thanks

Default either buy new (with the OEM tape) or use 3M body moudling tape (gray with erd backing)...
...but the 3M tape is slightly wider on the roll so you will need to trim thin strips, and the tape is thicker so the rings won't be as flush on the hood.

I'd say if you really want badge back on, go OEM and just order a new one from the dealer.

Default Oh God, I'd leave it off.
I would love to remove mine. Looks much better.

Default New badge is cheap
Probably easier to just buy a spare from your dealer. Looks great w/o it, btw!
