Black seat and cupra badges

No one seems to do black badges for the new shape (2022 onward) Leon so am I best to get them wrapped?
Depends which badge you’re doing. Front badge you have to unclip the old one, remove the chrome badge completely and clip the new black one on. Rear badge sticks over the top.
Since doing mine the front is still perfect, the rear came unstuck twice - so I dismantled the boot latch and had a local company paint it gloss black for me instead.
With hindsight - just use plastidip, would have saved me money and been a lot less hassle

Ahh, too late
Just purchased the front and back badges with the "Leon" also in black.
Haha oh well. My advice then? On the rear badge ditch the supplied adhesive tape, and if you are sure you want it to stay put - I’d put a thin layer of tiger seal or your choice of perma bond adhesive that doesn’t react with plastic on it instead.
I used the supplied tape, didn’t stay stuck. Had a grumble at them and they sent different tape. Used that, and at some point between Stafford and Folkestone it fell off again… so that was the end of that
