I was thinking removing the studs on the badge and put a new backing plate on the back with the studs closer together?

When you say front grill, do you mean bonnet grill or lower grill?? On R53 badge goes to right of the number plate on lower grill. May depend on whether you have aerokit front bumper or standard. On aerokit there is only one hole, you have to drill another. Well I did!!
