Front Grill Badge /// sticker peeling off on M2C

To my surprise and dismay, the M2 badge's /// on the front grill is a sticker. Unfortunately, it's also started to come off. The light blue colour is starting to peel off as shown in the attachment.

Anyone know if there's a replacement sticker for this?
Or else what's the best way on gluing it back on?
- Glue recommendations?
- Peel it off and reapply glue to stick it back?
- or apply glue in place?

Any hints or tips will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Oddly enough I noticed this on my car too. I was just put a dab of glue via toothpick to get the corner down.

Haven't had this issue...BUT, I suspect if you try to peel it off, you will only "put a curl" into vinyl which will be harder to glue back on. Don't know of a replacement...someone might. If it was me, I would as above: but clean surfaces with rubbing alcohol and small swab, then glue back with a clear RTV or very strong glue. Tape it down carefully and let cure. It will probably outlast the car.

So I did a bit of digging for replacement. I believe there's no replacement for the sticker.
The ///M2 badge is the replacement as it sticks on the black plate that is part of the grill.

So if push comes to shove, I will just buy a new emblem. For the moment I will try gluing it back on.

I actually had this on my car. The dealer orignally said they would have to order the entire grille, but they ended up being able to just order the sticker and replaced it under warranty!

Do you have a part number for this on the dealer invoice?

Thanks

Your car's a 2019?

Warranty. Let the dealer deal (ha!) with it.

Went to get the break-in period service and mentioned to the SA and they end up replacing the entire grill. I was in luck since the dealer had one in stock...

Decided to pry it off and paint it black...
