I replaced the SkyActive badge with a Mk1 Roadster badge. Easy, but you have to be careful.
What is strange is the badges are not level, they are slightly "off-straight" to follow the line of the boot-lid / rear so positioning of the replacement badge has to be done carefully as being slightly off will annoy yhe heck out of you. I did a few dry runs with some tape and stood well back. You can see it follows the line in the last two photos.
You can gently heat the badge with a hairdryer (hot air guns are too hot) which will help the adhesive separate a little easier. Use plastic tools as the paint will mark. Make sure your masking tape is the low sticky type as well, just in case.
The photos tell the rest of the story . .
