e30 badges- ebay or main dealer????? Thoughts please!!!

[flashpat]

HI folks iv been buying a lot of new bits for my E30 and iv found the main dealer to be cheeper than ebay for bits like rubber boots,hose's etc but the badge's are £30 each from MD and just £5 on ebay.

Will the ebay ones do or will they stick out a mile on my newly resprayed car as a corner cut ?????

Thanks

If your talking the BMW bonnet and boot rondels that ide go BMW as the cheap ones I bought are covered in chips and flaking paint.

eBay cheap ones are ok if you are just about to sell a car for a cheap spruce up but I would go for original ones from BMW. I just brought a pair for around £42

Buy genuine. Just received this today from BMW

what i did on my continous fading jag xf wheel centre caps was spray couple of coats of clear coat for added protection and still looking good, not sure if that would be ok for the badges but might be worth a try
