Hi,
I just checked eBay for your emblem and found this one that is actually cheaper than the rear emblem

I reused my old one. Cleaned it up, removed the circle and added 3m tape. Looks good to me...

Before spending a lot of money on a replacement emblem, post a wanted to buy thread in the C5 Parts for Sale section. People do put ones they have taken off their car up for sale every now and then and a number of them look to be in very good shape - all that is needed is replacement double sided tape.

I tried to remove mine entirely and was unpleasantly surprised to find the guide holes under the emblem. I removed the ring around the emblem before replacing.
