4.6i Badging

A vanity project for sure, but I've picked up left and right 4.6is badging and want to replace the "4" on my car to make it read "4.6i". From experience, I know this is the type of task that could turn out poorly for me and my ADD!

Lots of advice on replacing rondels, but I've found limited info on removing the model badging and re-adhering the new one. I've read that a heat gun will work, or dental floss, but would love any additional info guys may have so my results don't look child-like. The seller included some double-sided tapes of varying thickness, and a small tube of what looks like super glue. Not sure if there is a tried-and-true method I could use.

Since the numbers are all separate (not connected into one badge), maybe I can just replace the second "4" in the 4.4 without screwing up the numbers/letters.

Thanks all
