So I finally got around to replace my badges today. Sunday is mod day for me for some reason I do all my mods on Sunday's

The DIY was straight forward but that glue was pretty tough to get off even with the Goo-off. There was even some little specs of glue left but I just left those little patches on since I didn't want to rub too hard and damage the clearcoat too much. Anyway, the end result is nice and neat and inline

Many thanks to Calvin for the DIY Here are the pics -

Looking good. I want matte black badges but I feel like putting the "525i" back on would only depress me haha

So your car is currently de-badged? I imagine it's gonna be tough getting them aligned and in the right position.
The matte black badges would look great on the the silver though.

Looks good man! Are you going to continue your blackout theme? Roundels or roundel overlays next?

I don't know, I really like the blue color of the BMW Emblem and as long as there is no chrome on the car, it's all good
So I think I am going to keep the Blue/White Emblems

Hahaha thanks

If I where to smoke the tails, it would be an extremely light tint. I don't want them too dark.
