No one, just install the covers, and don't put any letters. If u put an M badge on the trunk lid it would look cheap and well...dunno the word in english...just not right but hey that's my opinion.

If u just install the caliper covers it would look more sleek without pulling to much attention to them with the letters, and the wow factor would be bigger when someone that knows, would spot them. Anyway i was wondering if there are real carbon calipers there? Never heard of it...if not what's the point?

Again those are all my ideas and my tastes.

I bought these CF Caliper Covers for E60.

Attachment 11952

I was thinking about make good use of the BMW letters that I had from OEM door sills. What do you think about the better letter position for that?

1 - Attachment 11953

2 - Attachment 11954

3 - Attachment 11955

Thanks,

Alex

I will do the no. 1!

I just looking for extra time to do that. The letters will be fixed with the insert plugs not only with glue. These are real carboon fiber! My work take a lot of myself time (weekends, holidays) but I will give a break to install them. The mods works like a anti-stress for me.
I really can't stay with any OEM car.

Thanks again ats77.
