Badge

[Coyote]

Is there anywhere else apart from the dealer that you can get a new 3.0 badge for the front wing?

Or am I stuck to paying dealer prices.

Thanks

With all the de-badging, I would think some here would have one FS.

Thanks!
In the end I paid £19 from the dealer. The ones on ebaywere £22 to £24

Never understood the debadging.

I guess it is people who buy the lowest spec versions and do not want people to know. Well that is what I always think when I see one.

For me, it's about the lines of the car - the Zed has spectacular sculpture, especially the 'flames' and 'Z' on the wings. The side numbers (3.0si) in silver on my midnight blue drew your eye to them and not to the shape of the car (see my sig pic, pre-debadging).

Removing them (after much deliberation) was a good idea.

If you're worried about the display of your engine size, as with an //M car, remember this; Those that care, can tell. Those that don't care, don't care.

I am not worried about the engine size display on a Z4 as i don't own or drive one

As for the lines you mention, I would have thought the roundal/indicator spoilt that.

I was talking on a whole car industry level not just certain models.

Its all down to personal choice and people not understanding others preferences.
