OEM "M" Fender Badge DIY

Coconut · 01-31-2023, 12:48 AM

I believe the US is the only region that doesn't get the "M" Fender Badge. I for one love how it looks. Each badge is a ~$50. Huge thanks to @winter.zed for providing the measurements.

Canada gets the side M badges but we don't in the US. kinda weird? I think it looks nice too but I don't wanna pay $100 for badges lol

Nice work. Looks proper.

BG42 · 02-01-2023, 01:27 PM

looks good, draws attention to that body line behind the front wheel.

Looks great, the measurement make it better feels.

FYI you can get these on Ali Express for $2 each. I cannot beleive they charge $50 for for one. That is insane. With that being said I am thrilled the US cars do not have these, it has enough M badges for an “M Lite” car.

All I can say is source responsibly if you’re able to. Also, I for one love the fender M badges, just my opinion. Fenders look naked without them.

Yes, not wasting $50 on a $2 peice of plastic is the epitome of sourcing responsibly. On that note I just de-badged my M240 anyone want to buy an OEM M badge for $30?

I only have one. It came off the back of my car. I replaced it with gloss black.

PRINCE THUNDERNIGHT · 06-08-2023, 05:16 PM

The ones on the side are smaller, I believe

Love the look, might do this myself. Just fills in the empty space. Thanks for the measurements 🤙🏻

I have Portimao blue with red brakes, think this might marry the colors together nicely

Where did you get the mud flaps?

TLG (Tommy L Garage). He makes and sells them from his home. Plenty of videos on his YouTube channel.

TJZ67201 · 07-17-2023, 10:28 AM

Thank you again for the measurements. Finally installed the OEM gloss black badges. I think the car looks naked without it now. Ties the Portimao Blue and red brake calipers in all together nicely.
