How to fix this ...?

Post by Smeeagain » Sun Sep 04, 2016 4:42 pm

Noticed today the emblem has come off my bonnet badge. Not too bothered as It was looking a bit scruffy and needed replaced anyway. I dont know whether it simply fell off or was prised off by some vagabond. Do i need the whole 'shell' or can i buy just the emblem - looked on evay but so far havent seen the right one - appreciate it if someone can post a link - hopfully I can attach an image from my phone Image

You'll need to just buy a replacement badge tbh buddy.

Don't think anyone does just the centre section piece as they tend to be glued to the frame.

Just need to carefully pry it up as it has 2 locating pins on the back that fit into the mounting plugs and some double sided sticky pads possibly.

If you don't have a plastic trim tool to to shove between the silver plastic rim & the bonnet....try using an unused/dead credit/cash card.... once it starts to lift, get your finger nails under it & it will come off.

Realoem link for part numbers.  Parts 1&2 depending upon state of the grommets.

Parts 3&4 are only for the boot lid.

Ah BMW themselves do them but I recon at the price they would charge for it probably best to just buy the whole badge lol.
