Help! Carbon Fiber Roundel Yellowing

Jettgee · 10-10-2013, 07:15 AM

Hey e90 post,
I bought my roundels on ebay about 5 months ago and they turned yellow from the sunlight I believe...
I was later told that you were supposed to spray something on them before install and they won't turn yellow.

What would that be?????

Just ordered a new 7 piece set and I do not want them to yellow!

Thanks

No, there's nothing that's going to stop the yellowing from the sun on aftermarket roundels. Cheap top coatings won't hold up like OEM. You could try clear vinyl covers and see if that helps.

You learned the hard way, don't buy cheap on ebay.

I bought the 7 piece carbon fiber/white w/ BMW set from jb speed 6 months ago. They still look brand new

Why you gotta touch the roundel man? The Bavarian gods are not pleased...

A counterfeit ebay emblem didn't last like an original?
