It's like that on a lot of cars. The tape on the CGT might have been poorly placed or dirty, as usually the lettering sticks on quite well.

However, some people don't like any letters on their cars (since it spoils the look of the car for them), and so they use some piano wire or fishing line to remove them (or in some cases, heat up the letters with a hair dryer so that they can be easily pulled off). If this is the case, it's actually a good thing the letters are not screwed on, as it leaves the body perfectly straight once the badges are removed.

You win some, you lose some. Just get a dealer to put it back on or do it yourself, a 2 minute job
