I have done that on other autos and it works very well. Use "high-performance" automotive film, it is much more durable and thinner than regular.
If you can make a rubbing of the original one on the cladding, you can use it as a template to trace the outline onto the film.
Make sure the surface you are applying it to is perfectly clean and smooth and free of imperfections, dust or dirt.
Mix up a small solution of warm water with 1 or 2 drops of clear dishwashing liquid (just enough to give a little suds and act as a lubricant) into a spray bottle.
The easiest way:
Cut the film to the desired shape with a razor blade and peel off the protective backing.
Spray the back of the film with a little of the solution and also mist the area on the cladding where you will be applying the film.
Place the film on the cladding and move it around into the desired position. Once in place, and starting from the center and working outward, use a rubber film squeegee or the side of a credit card to remove the excess water and all the air bubbles from underneath the film. Let it dry.
The water temporarily neutralizes the film so it will slide around like a decal. Once the water is removed and it starts to dry, the adhesive comes back.
