BMW badge
Hi
does anyone know what the size is for the BMW front bonnet badge and rear badge? (e92 coupe 2008) The laquer on mine seems to be flaking as water has gone underneath and is not looking good. how are these stuck on and how would I get them off? Ive seen a few in black and white/carbon effect on ebay, can anyone reccomend a place to get them from? |

Changed mine recently the bonnet was 82mm and the boot was 78mm. They can be tough to remove. They just prise up i taped up around badge to cover paint work and used plastic panel removing tool to prise it up worked a treat.The carbon fibre badges look the part on a dark car.

Sry checked and cant find the shop i purchased from on ebay. There are different types on fleabay make sure they they are real carbon with the cover being beveled . My car is black and it made a big difference to the front of it . On the back of the badges there are two locating dials which go into two holes the hardest bit is getting that initial seal broke just be very careful.I put a small dab of silicon on the back of them when reinstalling.
