Today's mod. ///M badge haters beware!

FRG · 02-17-2013, 01:13 PM

Bought some 20mm adhesive vinyl from ebay a while ago, got it stuck on today. I like it and it will be staying but I know I'm in for some stick over it.

I have one planned for the rear as well but it means removing the infill in the rear bumper to do the job right.

acerboo · 02-17-2013, 01:21 PM

that's a new take on the msport badge looks good.

idrift4wd · 02-17-2013, 01:24 PM

looks good, very subtle. nice msport

The_Bear_Yid · 02-17-2013, 01:25 PM

Hmm interesting. Looks well done.

Still counts a clownage though

AdamC · 02-17-2013, 01:26 PM

I like it

Would like to have seen the full slats done.

AWBimmer · 02-17-2013, 01:31 PM

Mate this is def a mod worth noticing. Looks awesome! I would prefer this than the whole slats, just my opinion.

FRG · 02-17-2013, 01:35 PM

My initial intention was to do 3 slats but only on one side, probably the offside then you'd only notice it when passing on that side. Basically I couldn't be bothered to take the grilles out to do it so I ended up with a 2 minute mod

old grey steve · 02-17-2013, 01:43 PM

That's quite a cool touch....like it

hobo mofo · 02-17-2013, 01:46 PM

Looks smart. I like it.

mistryn · 02-17-2013, 01:50 PM

I am going to say I dont like it... sorry
It just looks a bit odd/out of place, allbeit I have never seen it like that. Do you have a another picture showing the whole front?

Ha ha ha I like that.

Be careful, if someone from BMW sees this they'll end up selling grills like this for £120 and sold as DTM special edition or something like that lol.

BanziBarn · 02-17-2013, 01:57 PM

Never seen that before. Good work!

I will get one, I regret not taking a better picture as it does look pretty good when the car is viewed as a whole.

335d Rocco · 02-17-2013, 02:34 PM

I like it, looks original and discreet, nothing like having an M badge stuck on the grill IMO

Poison32 · 02-17-2013, 02:36 PM

yes liking this subtle but noticable and as for the whole m badge or no m badge on the front or rear if bmw put the m logo on the sill plates and steering wheel and gearknob then if you like the badges then i say do it but its imo each to there own

wafik · 02-17-2013, 03:51 PM

Nice, I think it looks great and definitely different!

I don't get the whole 'clownage' thing sometimes as the ///M logo is all over in Msport models, but somehow when one extra '///' or '///M' is added then it becomes clownage?

Cyprio · 02-17-2013, 05:38 PM

It definitely works!

MEGA · 02-17-2013, 05:43 PM

Personally? I think it looks shit.

Loads of people did this at bummerfest and then this year it was at DC10, Santa Pod, Gaydon allll over the place. Like 50 cars I saw with some theme of coloured kidney grilles. At least yours is a bit different but still terrible, IMHO!!!

As has been said, clownage to the Nth degree. The original coloured slat look I actually think its one of the worst mods I've ever seen on the BMW scene. This slightly better (again) but I just really dislike it.

Each to their own eh? But...

CarAbuser · 02-17-2013, 06:01 PM

Just looks to me like 3 strips of insulation tape.

Kerr · 02-17-2013, 09:18 PM

I'd be doing something about the paint covering the stone chips.

philmots · 02-17-2013, 10:50 PM

Think it looks pretty smart tbh!
