Many thanks!

Depends what you're calling a JDM badge? Screaming Chicken or Midship Runabout?
I just found several on fleabay for around £35, if you search "genuine Toyota midship runabout bonnet badge" it'll bring them up.

Forgot to add, MR2 Ben lists them as well for £27 in black or blue.

No problem at all, just one thing to bear in mind if you're thinking about swapping out the Mexican hat for one of these, you might end up with a bit of a shadow of the original badge if it's been on a long time.
You can usually polish it out but if the paint has faded it might show a fraction.

Heat up the glue holding it on I poured hot water over it, dental floss to in effect saw off the badge and lighter fuel to clean off any glue residue
