Some little sh1t pulled the 320 badge off the back of my car over the weekend! I would of aimed a bit higher my self at least a 325! Problem is now i have cleaned off the sticky residue you can still make out the 320, very, very faintly but its still there. I would just leave the badge off if you couldn't notice. any thing that would help? I have gone over it a little with some t-cut but still there. Probably best to stick another badge on i guess?

the residue off all off, there is a slight change of tone in the paint work where the badge was, thats the problem.

use T-cut on the area where the badge was and then polish ( i have been there before ! )

Sounds like the paint has just faded around the badge but still got the true pigments underneath.
Dont think you will be able to get rid of that without painting. I would stick another badge over the top.

Don't worry, once they've done a search on here, and realise what '320i' actually means, they'll probably bring it back!
