Debadging

E(90)nthusiast · 11-24-2007, 11:32 AM

Hey everyone. I have a jet black e90 328xi, and I'm thinking about debadging. Its been 5 months with my car but I dont think it will look faded.

A. Do you think I should debadge. (Im not doing it so people think I have a 330 or something, since I paid extra for that xi and Im proud of it) Car looks cleaner

B. What should I do with the badges- I was thinking on the engine cover, any other good suggestions?

once you debadge, the badge is useless, it wont really "stick" on anything else.
Since you have Jet Black, and i only recommend this on jet black, is put shadowed badges if you want. they look very clean

I was gonna get some clue and make it re-sticky. I don't think shadowed emblems are for me because I just want the back of my car to look clean.

debadging is definitely clean. do it man!

I used crazy glue to put it back on.

used the emblem after as a decorative piece on a wall...used glue to stick it on the wall.

Debadge it, it looks good. And the badge, sell them in ebay

Definitely debadge. Especially on black, the rear will look clean. No chrome badges jumping out at you.

How about Alpine White? De-badge or not?

I debadged mine. I put the shadow badge on when I had a black/white theme going on..but I thought that the black badge stood out wayy too much on AW so I took it off. love it now.

Thanks for the insight bro. Any pics of a debadged E92 AW from anyone??

E(90)nthusiast · 11-24-2007, 04:04 PM

What about pics of a jet black debadeged? Another reason I want to debadge is the 328 is not accurate, the engine is a 3.0 not a 2.8 but they didnt want to get previous 330 owners pissed off.
