Default Faded Grill emblem

Has anyone else had a grill emblem fade like this?
2013 XFR-S, ordered new trunk emblem from dealer and this is the comparison with grill.
I don't even drive that much and keep car garaged under cover.
The pinkish color looks terrible. Guess I will have to order new front emblem and have dealer replace. I don't want to tackle getting up under there without a lift.
Just wondered if this was common?

Yes - a few people have mentioned that although I thought it was on replacement emblem not an oem jag one

Check and see but I think the front one is just held onto the black plastic mounting plate with automotive tape so you should be able to just peel it off and stick the new one on

No, this one is OEM. Jaguar calipers fade too. They need to do better.
I thought there was a bracket on back holding it, but honestly I did not check.
Out of town now, will check when I get home.
