Z4 bonnet badge ?!

Post by yazmarie » Mon Apr 17, 2017 6:38 pm

Apologies in advance if there is already a post but having problems finding a bonnet badge for my car as when looking online it states they are 82mm for the bonnet which it isn't !

Can't find the correct size with right attachments !

Thanks xx :thumbsup:

The bonnet is a weird one, it's 70mm. If you order one from fleabay just make sure it comes with the lugs to screw it on. Much better than sticking it with silicone. And don't get sucked into buying a 73mm one - it will fit, but will need fettled to do so. The boot is 82mm, same size as the side repeater badges, but the boot one has 2 wee lugs that slide into rubber gromits in the boot lid.

Having messed about with aftermarket ones before I'd just go to a dealer now. Mainly because it's just easy - it's definitely the more expensive choice though.
Current... Silver Grey ///M Roadster, non-flimper spec, Imola Red nappa, permanent ear-to-ear grin 8)

Thank you this was very helpful :)
I ordered a wheel centre one and tried gluing that to the bonnet and it just ended up messy haha !!
Don't know why there is none around in 70mm

Main dealer it is then :(

I think the Z4 is the only car to have that size badge, so it's not easy to get hold of them as the demand is not high. There was a guy a while back who sold really good - and pretty cheap - reps, but he isn't in business anymore. The bonnet takes a lot of abuse though, so the dealer one will last longer than a stuck together copy.
