Is it the badge itself or just the stripes that are fading? If it's just the stripes you can (and I would recommend this) get replacement vinyl stripes that go on top of the existing ones. Once in place you'd never spot the difference, and these ones are more fade resistant.

I did this on my old M3 and was very satisfied with the outcome. Best part is you can get them for <$10. Of course if the badge itself is worn (like my engine cover badge is) then this won't help you.

And I would definitely say refresh them if they're faded, not sure this is a car that fits the patina/worn look.
