Black rear emblem

winther1 · 06-17-2020, 07:40 AM

Tempted - should I?

Fez_7 · 06-17-2020, 07:44 AM

Yes! Although I'd go with a debadge personally. Very nice car btw

winther1 · 06-17-2020, 07:46 AM

Thought about debadging, but might give this a go first. just £8

M33DLO · 06-17-2020, 08:20 AM

I'm also tempted with my '340i' in black.. But the car is Estoril body colour so not sure it would look as good.
I'd say on a white body, it would look great.
Where you you seen the black letters, Ebay ?

Yes, I think it will go well on white - chrome is out of place particularly after changing the exhaust tips to carbon

I now ordered it from a UK seller so will be able to install next week:

I personally wouldn't debadge a 440i, I would go black chrome though!

Black roof next?

archerz · 06-17-2020, 02:44 PM

Yeah do it !

sahajesh · 06-17-2020, 02:46 PM

Put an M badge on it as well

That was a joke by the way!

ALBEE · 06-18-2020, 01:34 AM

May as well go all out and replace BMW badges for CF/black

Do you mean these?

Not sure I'm sold - and I just had the v-bar wrapped in blue to match the badge colour

Where could I get a 330d badge in black?

Can make them nice and stealthy though with a decent remap

Already done

winther1 · 06-18-2020, 03:19 PM

That was easy!
Heated it up a bit with a hairdryer and shaved off the numbers with dental floss.

The old glue could be rubbed off with a finger and then clean with isopropyl

Left a faint mark so I could see exactly where to put the new numbers

Hooded · 06-18-2020, 03:33 PM

Looks good on a white car

If people think mines a four pot then mission accomplished 😉

Man this makes me want a white car again haha. Looks awesome. Agree the BMW roundels would look good in black too.
