Boot de badge

Nice simple mod that only took minutes and I think really improves the smoother look, original badge just ugly and imbalances the back..

What model is the top one? :poke:

It's tempting, but where would I put the accent M insignias if there's no Z4... I'm confident the BHP just decreased!

Did mine 8 years ago. WD40 and dental floss. Looks much better, especially with twin exhausts.

35i? 35iS? And what's the interior colour?
 
Years ago I bought a brand new Ford Orion Ghia. I stated that I didn't want the Currie Motors plastic badge on the boot. The salesman's face was a picture when I went to collect the car and they had applied one, which I insisted he remove. He clearly didn't trust the quality of Ford's paintwork :lol:

Fortunately it came off OK.

Currie Motors 'Nice people to do business with' or was it 'Nice business to do people with' :rofl: When I was teenager I worked doing car stripes and graphics, I had to go to Curries where they had a guy who has just bought a brand new Escort RS Turbo in diamond white, he had all the badges taken off the tailgate and wanted in big red letters 'No Guts, No Glory!' :rofl:

Andy, someone else would of taken his money, so I did it. One of the other guys in the company did a 2.8i Capri with 'The B*ll*cks' down each side in massive pink letters, the police pulled the car and told him to remove the graphics. It was the late 80's and it was crazy what people wanted on their cars. I had a customer who had just bought a new limited edition XR3i cabriolet with leather seats in Pacifica blue, next I'm putting massive wavy stripes all over it, then some else with a XR3i cabriolet saw it and wanted the same but in different colours :cry:
 
I think you're right. Getting that Z4 out of the way really gives you options.

That's equal to a Stage 2+ BHP increase.... at least.

(I do like the clean look of debadging.. just having fun.)

Oh and 35i the iS didn’t come in manual which was a must for me. And this had pretty much all the options I wanted.

Glad you got what you wanted. Wish I could. (Just a repeat of what I have already.)
