Following on from my post last night"what to stick badge on with",I know need the exact position to put it on!

Anyone fancy taking some measurements for me?
Say from the lower edge of the boot to the bottom of the badge,then from the right hand side of the boot to the `i`?
Oh and the width of the gap between the 5 and the i.

Badge in question is a 325i.

Thanks

No worries... :thumb:

Take your time fitting it. Badges are one of those things that really need to be nice and straight. If it's a little crooked, it will just bug you every time you look at it... or maybe I'm just a fussy bugger.
Hope it turns out well for you.
