Hi Vince

The padge is cast and has pins that push through holes drilled in the grill, on the back there is two of those metal washers that you can push on but cant get off...............the name of them escapes me now.
I do happen to have a badge too, i will get it out of the garage tomorrow and get you a photo

Hi Vince, there are 2 small holes drilled through the grille for each chevron, and there are small circular clips forced over the prongs on the back of the chevrons that go through the grille to hold it in place.

Its the same as the BX.
