gav

canyou imagine jambo if i did that. he'd throw an OEM fit

harris, cheers. that's exactly how i feel with the 3/4 plate tbh. i may just mount it using velcro so can remove it to take pics. it does spoil the front end as it looks so big on a relatively small car.

were the badges ok in quality?

that's your opinion, and you're entitled to it, but I just prefer them, that's all.

I did the same on all my fords. the badge was blue and I bought black overlays. Once the calipers are repainted black/grey/silver, the whole car will be dark in colour apart from the rear lights, which is what I want.

Yea they were ok, have only got my front fitted at the moment

but I was surprised at the quality of mine.
I've, got my plate on Velcro at the moment but I've of a number plate on mine so have to unscrew that so was thinking of having a small plate with no mount.

I really dont get what the issue is?

It's a badge

You lot might aswell keep your cars standard if you don't want anything to look non oem.

Cheers

those black and white ones are nice, although i'm guessing the oem crew would still disagree

Could be worse yes, but he's one step away from red interior LEDs IMO

I've never noticed before but the BMW badge is shit

, no thought at all put into it, looks like something that would be more suited to a Datsun

Carbon fibre badges are an improvement imo, sort of takes the boringness away.

It's meant to look like a propellor turning or something isn't it?

I've done this with my plate on the bm. Looks much better than anything else. I cut the plate myself and gave it a quick file down and they look perfect. It's a 6 digit plate aswell and is the perfect size, will be a much better option thatn a 3/4 plate and legal.

I have to agree regarding the plate - would look 10x better in smaller font

i may try and cut my standard one down a bit. i have a spare one if it goes wrong anyway.

badges are here. quality is good, although the carbon fibre weave doesn't follow the same pattern on every badge

not a big deal, but it may annoy me.

grrr, removed the old badge on the front bumper to find out that it was only held on with double sided tape, rather than nuts from the underside.

will have to go and buy some more padded tape now to fit the carbon one.

the badges:

i also set about removing the front reg plate and having a go at cutting it down. unfortunately it cracked a bit and it still needs smoothing down with a file.

will most likely end up buying a new smaller one, but i like the front end with no plate on:
