don't use glue! it can affect the paintwork. i use double sided "spongey" tape (£1 per roll from mr.cheap/poundland, etc), cut into little pieces and stuck at various points around the back of the badge. it works perfectly well and can be removed without too much difficulty if you stick the badges in the wrong positions/need to remove them!

yes double sided tape will work as long its the stong type and the surface's are clean, but be careful if useing an jetwash it will rip the badge off. so i say go with 3M double sided Tape. and an side note resize your Avatar to no more then 200x200 pixles

I am in the same boat, the PO took the model badge off the back.
How long does the double sided tape stick for before it starts to go?
