Carbon Fibre Badges

Chav or not? How well do they look, unsure whether or not I want a set off ebay

I've wanted to ask the same question not so long ago, never actually seen any in the flesh but i think it depends on the car, i reckon they'd work well on darker cars. And as long as there was no more cheap stick on bits and no pointless stickers then i reckon they wouldnt look chav at all.

I've also ordered a 7 piece combo set for 'er indoors E36 Silver 323i. I think they'll look ace but if not I'll flog 'em. I.ll let you know when they finally arrive... comin from Taiwan !

Are these the ones that replace the BMW badges with 'm' etc? I dont see (in my opinion) why people would want to get rid of the BMW badge, im pround of mine!!

. The carbon version of the BMW one in my opinion doesnt look very good as its not very distinctive.

Its a carbon overlay of the original BMW emblem, not like the "M" badges you can get

they look spot on,i got a set of blackand silver carbon ones, its proper carbon fiber, so its not to chavy

They're tacky as anything, especially when there's not a CF theme with the rest of the car.

down to personal taste, but its a subtle change to a car. on a black silver or white car they look better than other colours i think.

This is true but if you don't have CF anywhere else I think a black and white badge would be better.

IMO any carbon fibre add-on is tacky really unless it's obvious the intention is to save weight.

They look great on the right car, mines black and chrome, and so are my badges, looks spot on.

Richy had them on Nemo, I wasnt a fan to be honest, prefer the original.
