Hmm, I wonder how you replace the rear roundel on the coupe, since it's the button for opening the hatch? And there's nothing included for the side signals?
 
I'd be willing to bet that the front roundel is 72 or 73mm in those packages.

I've been through it myself, (not with EAS) & I ended up with a 72mm for the front which is too large.
The Z4 is an odd ball when it comes to roundel size, the front is 70mm.

I'd check with EAS before buying & get them to physically check the size.


Here's the rear shot...

Do you know the size of the side roundels, the ones in the turn indicators?
 
I forgot about the side indicators, think this was the problem before.

Thats that idea out of the window

Sides are no problem they're 82mm the same as the trunk.
You just have to clip the pins off the back so that you can use the 3M tape to mount them.

Finding a 70mm front is the only problem.
 
i got mine from ebay they look good :thumbsup:
but the problem is that as inTgr8r said the front one is slightly bigger, but i installed it with screw plastic pins coz the pins on the badge is small, i'll try something else to make it look perfect.

i was afraid to get the side ones coz i didn't know the size of it, but now i'm going to get them but how can i install them, from where i can get the 3M tape ?!

i'll post some pics soon ;)

The problem with the oversized badge, is that it doesn't sit flat in the recess.
There is a slight curve in the mounting location & the larger roundel hangs up on the sides.
...but I got mine sorted out this week. :D

I dremeled the roundel sides a little (bottom edges) on a taper & got it to sit flat.
After trimming it, I sealed the edges with a little clear.
Then I just used a few dabs of silicone under the badge to mount it.
The badge sits a little higher than OE but worked out pretty well.

Futher to above, I finally got around to taking a couple of pics.

The blue area on the first pic is where the 72mm roundel needs to be trimmed on the bottom edge to make it sit flat.
