Bonnet/boot badges on a e30 m3

[breakermart]

I thought id get some opinions here as to what I can/can't get away with without making my car look a joke.....
my e30 m3 rep is in need of the BMW bonnet and boot badges, iv always had a fancy for the alpina and ac schnitzer badges as I just think they look great.

can I get away with fitting either of them on a m3? or would I just look like one of those twats who clearly like sticking badges where they don't belong lol. I don't even know if an AC Schnitzer E30 M3 exist or Alpina E30 M3.

There was alpina M3's but I think they had the M30 engine and were called something like a B6.

Alpina b6s

Alpina cars have BMW badges and not alpina ones so don't do those as they look naff.

Standard ones. Anything else will look like eBay specials.

I remember it now , was thinking if it was a budge rep with a 320 engine in (lol) alpina badges would be daft, still you should keep standard badges, unless you made it a full alpina b6 rep with all the decals and interior goodies, as its not a genuine m3 anyway , the b6 alpina look is magnifique

Not sure why you are even asking Mart. You may as well ask:

Bruvved up tat or done properly?

[pukar]

alright, fess up....who voted for an alpina badge? yuk!

[breakermart]

haha yeah I get the picture now, im not a fan of shite so standard bmw badges it is. but it did make a good conversation for 5 mins. heres another question though, iv not fitted any yet nor was actualy going to but who recons I should have the side indicators fitted to the wings of the m3?

You'll need to if you want it to pass a genuine MOT

Yep, unless you have some indicators installed on the front to cover the side and front.

"Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side. Instead of a separate lamp, the side repeater might be part of the front direction indicator if it includes a wraparound lens.
Lamps incorporating a side repeater are marked either with an ”˜E’ mark in a circle or an ”˜e’ mark in a rectangle above which is a number 5. However, some vehicles are fitted with a wraparound lens with no European approval markings. These can be tested by standing approximately 1000mm to the side of the vehicle’s rear bumper with the indicator on. If amber light can be seen coming through the front lens (not a reflection) this is acceptable."
