E86 Coupe 3.0si rear BMW Emblem

Post by BTZ461 » Tue Jul 02, 2019 12:00 am

The rear emblem on our car is scratched and disfigured, do I have to get a complete lock unit or will the emblem peel off and refit another?
And the moulding on the left rear quarter window is marked where would I go to get another its all one piece glass included any recommended wreckers as I think the part number shows as discontinued.
Lastly thinking of fitting carbon fibre or similar to the ali bits on the dash and trans tunnel, any help or recommendations , quite like the cube effect on the 4m coupe, any pointers here?

Thanks in advance
Bill

Rear badge is stuck on, just peel off and re-apply.
Don't know about the glass.
Real CF or a wrap? Currently doing a wrap myself, and would recommend buying another set of trims to work on whilst you're doing the wrap, as the whole process (if you intend doing a 1st class job) including filling the scratches, sanding and prepping can take a while. Scratches can show up through the wrap, so be mindful. After you're done and installed, you can on-sell your trims to the next bloke!
