This Christmas we bought a replacement front grill emblem of a Fiat Croma (2009), without really thinking on beforehand how this should be done.
Now, the gift is received, and the receiver wants to replace the emblem, but doesn't know how. I've searched, but cannot find a guide or something like that. Can anyone explain how the emblem should be replaced?

The text on the back says "B6 32"
It appears from the images this should be a fairly simple job. The small center tab protruding from the back should have an interference washer (I don't know what to call it, exactly) which will be placed over it to positively capture it and hold the part in place. The first thing you need to do is get the old badge off. To do this, you'll need to place a small thin bladed screwdriver between the interference washer and the grill, working your way around it in small increments to get it to come off of the old badge's tab. Be careful while doing this as you'll need the washer to fit the new badge. Once it's off of the tab, pull the emblem off of the grill. Fit the new badge onto the grill and place the interference washer onto the new tab, sliding it on until the badge is snug and the washer is fairly flat against the grill.
