I had a black Volvo V70R a couple of cars back and removed the badges to retrofit side markerlights and there was no fading at year three...I suppose you could compound the area.

I took my 3.0D emblems off!Maybe if I had a 4.8is ,I wouldnt?
I remember in the early 80s I had a company E30 316i and took the emblem off and stuck on a 325i one!No longer had an inferiority complex!

Alot of Merc owners do the same. Removing all of the badges including the rears. I does make it look very clean.

Hmmm, this gives me an idea. Is there a 5.0i badge? Gotta look in ebay.;)

I'll be the very first to have 5.0i X5 :bustingup

I am going to get the 4.8is emblem from the dealer,throw away the "is " and add the "D" that I took off from my 3.0D emblems and I will have the first 4.8D.
Bet I will have more torque than your 5.0i?:rofl:

There's a guy around town here that has a current style Corvette. Apparently he likes it so much he bought a bunch more Corvette emblems, and stuck them EVERYWHERE on the car. My wife even laughs when she sees it! I'll have to get a picture of it for you guys!:rofl:

How about I get a 3-series badge, a 760il badge, buy powers1's badges, find another guy who debadges his diesel, and we gots an X5 36DD.
