Need new roundels and some prick nicked my old ones....

Dont really want to go original BMW as they cost a bomb and they will probably get nicked again..

I can find the 82mm bonnet ones on ebay no problems however the 86mm boot one is proving a right swine to find.



Any ideas.

I think the roundels are about £22 each from bmw, You can get some half tidy ones from the ebay.

I've used eBay ones, which while they looked fine at first simply didn't last.

If you do try cheap ones, it might be worth giving them a couple of coats of lacquer before fitting to try and seal them a bit better.
