Replacement M badges

Post by TimG30si » Wed Sep 15, 2021 10:08 pm

So my M badges are looking a bit worse for wear. They’ve either been painted black or are aftermarket ones, but they’re faded and tatty looking now.

Where’s the best place to look for some replacement ones, and anyone know how hard they are to remove and replace?

Cheers!

Removing is easy, a bit of heat and toothfloss makes it a piece of cake, then it's a case of peeling off the excess, again some heat from a hair dryer or better yet a heat gun will really help. The OEM M badges are a damnsight sturdier then the aftermarket ones, the rear one is also metal.
I went for ones from BMW and for a full set of roundels and M badges it cost be nearly £250, no doubt aftermarket ones are cheaper on Ebay, depends on the result you want.
