Black white chrome replacement badges/emblems

Can anyone send me a link to swapping my BMW E89 badges over to black white chrome. Through research, it maybe more feasible to use the wrapping technique and save postage with a couple of A4 stickers. This is for bonnet, boot, 2x sides and wheels not forgetting steering wheel.

My experience this far as my front badge had been glued on

Changed steering, wheel caps to carbon blue : white
Bonnet reused housing with sticker from same kit
Sides are three pin and cannot locate so stuck new sticker over the top
Boot is an issue though and still researching

Pm me your email and I can share the supplier I used on AliExpress

I can upload pics too

Nice, well done and interesting to know how every badge has its own quirk. My front badge has disappeared leaving a glue dot off centre. My Z is black, so I was looking for that same diamond image but on black/chrome. What about finding the wrapping technique? Simply arrives on an A4. Can you confirm the size dimensions on all? Reason being, I thought the front badge was 70cm and I was corrected it is 74cm. You have to be so precise. [email protected]. Cheers.

I just measured the badges tbh and the measurements sometimes actually include the surround

I originally ordered the black carbon but changed my mind I will take a picture for you

Thanks for detailng the various badges. Just out of curiosity, is the black whithe badge the same size as the blue you showed with your ruler? I dont know why a previous guy assumed the bonnet badge was 74cm when i thought it was 70cm and yours looks 67cm? Whats your recommedation on a badge replacent to the sticker method or wrapping badge technique where you only replace the colour parts which you have to dry with a hairdryer? On the subject of suppler. You mentioned aliexpress. Just been looking. I cant see the badge options. Do you have the link straight to that page. Much appreciated.
