Hi Brian:
I had the same problem and managed to ruin one badge. Use silicone gasket
goo. It won't harm the badge and will hold it on. It wouldn't hurt to
roughen the surface of the badge mount where the glue will be applied to
help the bond. Normally, I recommend a GM product called "Plastic Emblem
Cement" which is excellent for many purposes but it will attack the finish
on these MG badges.
Another good possibility is to use industrial strength two-sided tape.
This is sold by body shop supplies for mounting emblems and trim. 3M also
makes a similar product. It is like carpet tape but much stronger. The
thickness of the tape will make the emblem stand a bit proud of the mount
but it will look ok.
