Replaced tatty centre caps & gave badges a 'red' facelift

[Marlon]

original:



bought a set of caps off ebay £9.99 and a pack of Red Overlay Decal stickers from the U.S for £7.70







I'm happy with the results, and if I change my mind I can just peel them off

they look good! wonder what they would look like on my White Z with red leather, brakes etc. its always annoyed me that the color scheme is red and white yet the badges are blue :thumbsdown:

Not sure about the red.... perhaps from further away.

Nice shiny exhaust tips though

I'm liking it a the moment, however, wouldn't bet against me returning to blue and white in the future.
Autosol aluminium polish and lots of elbow grease for the tips - cheers

I reckon the red badge looks great against white

The orientation of the badge in the wheel is wrong, it needs to align with the BMW square badge at the top



If I don't say it, somebody else will :lol:

 

[Marlon]

Isn't it the opposite to that?

Wheel badge below the centre cap and not above?

And all the M badges are upside down on the wheels shown

That's what I thought :lol: unless you own a Z4W?

TBH that's what I thought when I saw the thread, but when I found this I thought I must be wrong, but couldn't check my car.

Mine still has the old style caps & not centered, once the new ones are purchased OCD levels will return to normal. Even my tyre fitter knows how I like them aligned :lol:
