M badge replacement stickers

I got in touch with BMW UK and they sent me the most up to date BMW M brand guidelines that they send to dealerships to have collateral produced. I have updated the colours to the newer M brand guidelines as our cars badges were produced using a slightly different Pantone. The newer colours are slightly more vibrant its subtle but looks much better in person.
Just need to find a printer that can print a vinyl that is hard wearing, resists UV (to improve on the current badges which is the issue) and obviously need to speak to a printer to see what vinyl options there are from a finish point of view I think they are gloss as standard, and get some test prints to check the colour accuracy. I also need to see if they can die cut them so there is no work when installing.
Could have a batch made if there is enough demand. They arent cheap to make in singles like £6 per badge with online retailers but I could have a local wrapping company print them and have them done on a big sheet which would reduce the cost considerably.
Beedub might be able to help as im sure he now deals with a lot of printers with wrapping cars with his business Topwrapz
Probably not the best time to enquire tho as most will be closed.
Hello Tom,
I am in touch with this outfit and as suggested I will contact them for printing your work... do you want to PM me?
Thanks

Just noticed that the BMW roundel on the boot of the M3 E92 is decaying, are they easy to remove and replace?
Not sure if you guys have seen these yet but I've just bought a pair of wing badges for my M, as mine are currently faded. They are quite pricey but got them at a decent price when I got them.

Have also bought their BMW badges for the boot and wings and all were original BMW badges and now all my badges look like new.

Thanks, but how do you remove the old badge, I assume it is adhesive, will the paintwork be in danger when removing?Machpb said:

Just had a look at an image, seems to be stud fixing through the bodywork.

Thanks.
All,
An update on the M badge stickers saga: the company I was in touch with would not print and only sell OEM badges. I sent the dimensions of the ones on my Z4M and waiting to hear back from them in terms of size and cost (1, 10, 20 sets etc.).
In the meantime, I came across this company https://www.sporty40.co.uk/ vinyl design and cutting specialists.
I already sent them an email and tried to contact them over the telephone to discuss. Unfortunately, I did not manage to get through and I haven't received a response yet. Will keep you posted.

Good morning all,
a further update and some positive news: there is a company that can provide the "OEM" badges at much reduced rates. See the text of the email I received earlier:
I think it's great news, especially considering the price compared to the badges at BMW dealerships.
Let's discuss and perhaps create a new thread for a group buy.

Hi Attilio yes I can do those sizes in sets (2x 72mm + 1x 85mm), available in both silver chrome and matt black (same price). For 1-10 sets I can do £15/set, after that I can do £12.50/set. All prices include UK shipping. If it is a BMW club I can also throw in some goodies as free samplesI will have to order these from the factory and given the current situation I estimate delivery in around 2 weeks. Please let me know thanks! Emma

Interested!
[ref]Attilio[/ref] Please can you confirm if this latest offering is for coloured inlay replacement decals or for entire replacement badges? Sounds interesting either way
