It looks like the two holes in the wing were put there by Mr Volvo to fit the badge, but there are no corresponding pins in its back. I've cleaned up the back of the badge with some acetone and it is smooth - no sign of any pins having ever been there.

Is this the original badge, and if so how was it fitted to the wing? Perhaps some adhesive might solve the problem?

Any advice on the above would be much appreciated .

Search ebay/Amazon for "3M Trim Tape" Alan, it's almost certainly how it was originally held on.

PS - currently trying to juggle widow tint film with a pizza and getting everything back together before the typhoon and monsoon we've been promised or i would have found a link for you!
