I think without the spoiler only works if you have NO kit on it, if you have the MTEC the spoiler should defo be on there. Still looking a bloody nice motor.

az, that looks the b0ll0cks mate!! nice pics by the way, who's the camera man?! winkeye

more to the point, why the hell would anyone want to take the BMW badge off the back of a BMW? people who debadge their cars, are gay and ashamed of what they drive, like fiesta's or saxo's and they have no badges!!

does anyone want to do a photoshop to see what it would look like without the badge?

well done though az, looks much better, so more euro and clean

Nasty de-badged.

It blatantly looks like there is something missing.

There's a time to stop with bodywork modifications and I think you've already reached it. Don't over do it or it will just lose all symmetry.

cheers for comments guys. i am quite pleased that everyone has a different view on it cos it means that not everyone will do it. just like havin the spoiler on.
when it went in for spraying i really didnt think to have it de badged. although i think i would prefer it with the badge.
cheers, aza
