Is the badge and adhesive designed to withstand the heat of the engine?

Yeah I'd worry about the adhesive failing under high heat/improper bonding and fall into something it shouldn't

Other than that, I'd still be hesitant to put that there... it just doesn't look right

RenaultOne · 12-31-2007, 01:22 PM

yea take it off, not safe! be prudent when placing things inside the engine compartment!

NaTuReB0Y · 12-31-2007, 01:24 PM

that's the heat shell....it doesn't get hot

not cool....but that's just my opinion

NPDAN · 12-31-2007, 01:35 PM

It took barely any heat on my badging before they started to slide off.

I forgot to add... I didnt actually glue them on. I just taped it from behind to see how it looked and take a picture. Wanted to gauge your opinions first. Im leaning towards not actually putting them on because I'm afraid that whatever glue I use will still fail and they can fall off and get into my belts or something

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 12-31-2007, 02:57 PM

Yeah probably not a good idea. . . But i definitely do like the idea of re.using them.

nowhere on the vehicle. Why take them off to just put them back on??

Put them on a CD holder or something like that......maybe a custom T shirt?

remmib · 12-31-2007, 03:47 PM

First time I've seen that, looks kinda weird though

HyperM3 · 12-31-2007, 05:03 PM

A lot of people put them on the chrome BMW license plates in the back.

+1, that's what I did with mine...painted them an SG-like color before re-attaching it to the license plate holder to give it some contrast.

The engine heat has to go somewhere. How about up? There's no way those badges would stay there by using glue, which is a good thing.
