The stick on ones are fine although not quite as good as the original. It has been suggested that you get them made 1mm oversize. I have them on mine and there was a tiny bit of green showing round the edges of the ones on the pillars. I just touch them up with a black felt pen every now and then!

They are gel overlays but dam good quality you cannot tell they are stuck over the existing badge. Mine are the standard size and are fine. They've been on the car since it was only a day old |

Likewise thinking the same, presumably somethings tucked down behind it to stop the overspray? Thinking of also doing the chrome arse piece too.

Yeah no need to take the whole bumper off, once you take the top 4 bolts out there is enough room to slide some paper behind to protect everything behind the grill.

I am thinking of doing the side vents, haven't looked into it yet though. Did you do yours? If so did you mask anything behind the vent? Maybe the chrome plate on the boot too... MY15 Santorini Black/Almond | Clearview Pack Modifications - Grill painted matte black |
