Calling all MR2 detailers I need some advice!!
My '2' didn't come with a 'Roadster' badge but in its place is a TRD badge which is a bit worn and obviously not standard. I have sourced a chrome Roadster badge but have a dilemma on how to attach it to the car.
I know that some detailers remove badges and then reattach them but I'm wondering with what?
I'm guessing double sided tape? But this I presume will never be like the 'shaped' sponge tape on the badge.
So how do you cut it to size or to shape or do you just add a few squares of tape...or should I just do the unthinkable and superglue it to the car?

I used this. Four years later it's still on there.

Believe it or not I actually have some of that tape that I bought to stick my LED's to the back of the TV.
Now how should I go about cutting it to size or does it not really matter??

I stuck it to the back of the badge and use a brand new craft knife to trim to size.

I understand...should I wait for warmer weather to give the adhesive a chance or will just running the 2 for a bit be enough to warm things up?

Totally superfluous weight for some of us that are follically challenged!
PS. Please don' t decide to use a more macho hot air gun ( designed to remove paint)!

I jest of course.
It was an optional extra!
