Those from SU?? They look nice.... Keep a watch out for peeling. I have a set and they are starting to peel....
Yeah, they're SU. I was hoping to avoid peeling by buying a set from them. I still have my other badges, and I'm hoping that I can soak them and paint them similarly as a backup. How long have you had them installed on your car?

It's just a matter of preference. I'm repainting my badges as we speak, but I took the route of getting some that were prof. finished. To each his own.

i understand that...but like VRMS6 said his are starting to peel...what it sounds like is they just bought up a bunch of badges from the dealer, sprayed them, and jacked up the price. that doesnt sound really "professional" to me. but thats my opinion.

Front - remove the grille, use a flat screwdriver, pop the 6 tabs loose and gently tug the emblem off. No adhesive here.
Rear - heat up, and use fishing line or floss and peel under adhesive. Badge will pop off with two small holes in trunk. There may be plastic bushings that sit on the tabs, but those can be removed as well.

I think it looks even better color matching them. I'm gonna do my second set to match the car, and see how they turn out.

I'll take some this weekend after I detail it.
Color matched look good.
A fellow member has a black mica sedan 3, and a grey sport wagon6 with a speed6 front end. all there badging and name plates are color matched looks great.
Freekwonder- yes i will strip the chrome on your badging and paint them satin black. unless i can find a good price on color match paint. but then it will be hard to match right. so i might just to satin black. or see if i can find flat black Rc airplane covering and well cover them. then they wont peel. ill try one.

No, only 4 clips. The M itself has 6 or 8 tabs, but comes off fairly easy. There's a how-to for removing the grille that was just posted.
