£22ish (before the zone discount) from Cotsworld...

I cant see that link (at work) but I think anything off ebay will be plastic and you will get metal from the dealers.

That's what I though too, probably best to buy a good condition used one on here for about 10 quid isn't it?

I am pretty sure someone posted up (Pacer?) that the BMW ones are also now plastic so I wouldn't imagine there will be a whole load of difference other than the price.

Replacement E30 badges have been plastic for some time.

So chav but came with the car and do suite it quite well imo. The car being silver I think the blue would stand out too much against it.

I think I might just do that....which brings me to your original question "will they fit?" LOL
