get two flat top bolts, an aluminum plate, epoxy, and nuts. cut out the plate and mount it on the bolts sticking out on the back of the emblem. apply epoxy. you can screw on the nuts on the inside of the grill to secure the emblem on.

Also check if the epoxy can tolerate high heat temperatures.

I also went this route on my last car. This makes it much more secure and provides a snug fit. Tape alone and you risk the emblem either falling off over time or being stolen.

I took the badge, shaved the prongs off the back of it...
I used a thick piece of plastic, easier to cut and epoxy than metal (for me)...

Then I cut the plastic in the shape of the badge.. Drilled 2 holes through it, 2 bolts through the holes... With the screws hanging through the plastic I epoxied it to the badge heavily. Instant weld.

Stick the bolts through the grille... Washers and nuts @ the end of your bolts on the backside of the grille and your set!

So bassically same story as the rest, I used plastic from a CD spindle, rather than metal.

Still standing strong, 150+ mph tested lol. I got the Black Pearl F emblem.... Expect the badge to get beat up a little if you daily.

Good luck brother!

Not the greatest pics, but you can see the alum plate on the back of the badge. The screw is a flat head countersunk into the alum plate.

Here you can see the screw & nut behind the grill. I used a nylon insert nut. You could instead, use
thread locker or double nut it
