The new one should be a stick on one too. If it has 2 prongs, it's an enamel S1 badge and you'll have to cut them off.

Don't cut the pins off!
Take the plastic badge off and there are 2 holes in the clam they slip through. You don't need to bolt it on, just stick it on with thin number plate tape. The pins act as good stability and help you line it up in the first place
may be worth checking before you butcher.
