Don't forget to REMOVE the badge shortly before the next Football World Cup, when Germany will inevitably put England out; otherwise your car will be torched by the mindless morons, who currently think that BMWs are ace and might even think they are British

Tony, I can get some vinyl in the post to you to go over an ///M badge if need be?

I probably owe you a favour or ten by now :lol:

OK chaps, here's the pics.

I got the German flag from US Ebay and the ///M grill badge was on the car but a bit faded. You can get a new one from C3 but if your gonna cover it up get a used one.

I filled in the gaps on the ///M badge and stuck the German one on top. Job done

HTH

Mahmood,that looks perfect!
Only problem is if ive got to go to the trouble of getting an //M badge then i might as well just get the german one?

Thanks for posting the pic up though,looks spot on

The thing is you've got to find some way of attaching the German flag. It's just flat at the back and I couldn't see how I would get it to stick to the grill without the lugs on the ///M badge.

Yes good point mate,unless i just run a fine line of glue along the fins?
Good quality glue of course,araldite or similar?

Yo Tony greetings from Canada - this place rocks man. Snowboarding is bloody hard! I am so bruised...!

Anyway you are in luck as I can even remember the site name www.detailhaus.com is the badboy you are after.

I will sort out the pics when I get back too. Had a real nightmare trying to send them. Trying to upload to pohotbucket and you can see them from there. Sorry its taking a bit.

Cheers

Hi Martin,take it your having a good time then

Lucky fooker!

Thanks for the link mate,knew it was something haus but thats all.
Anyway im going to leave it for now and attempt to make one out of a old //M grill badge as Mahmood has done!
Hes has come out looking good so reckon i should be able to do it too,Blue Peter style

Herrity is sending me a grill badge for nothing so by the time its done itll have only cost a couple of quid too,happy days!

Take care bud and enjoy your break,catch up with you on 18th Feb at the Dartmoor meet
