De badging

[RedSox]

Hi there.

Just wondering like.....is there a protocol regarding the de-badging of the boot if you fit a quad exhaust? :? It's starting to keep me awake at night......

What have the rest of you done?

Cheers

Take it off. Easy to replace if you ever forget what you're driving.....

Removed mine & no intention of seeing the badge back , much prefer the cleaner rear kept the side badges though

Is it fairly straightforward to do?

I removed my badges... but it looks teribble without them which is why im replacing them with carbon fibre black and white ones...

Yep , just to confirm after the above pic , we are only talking the Z & the 4 :? not the BMW boot badge .
I warmed mine up with a hairdryer then slowly prized off with a credit card , leaves a tacky backing from the badges , this i removed with some light rubbing of autoglym super resin polish others will have their own technique i,m sure .

Alternatively, I have a spare Z & 4, if you want to, ill send em to you and could even it out that way.....

That should be fairly easy then - especially as my wife works for Altro - the owners of Autoglym!

Thanks for the tip.

you should add an ///M badge, people here love that.
