I pinched my wifes hairdryer!

Yeah hair dryer can work too! I just used the heat gun as I had it anyway. But hair dryer may be a safer bet if your unsure on safety issues with the heat gun!

I agree - looks better without the v8 badge, but the stock X5 badge would look OK I think. Since your X's butt is so clean now, you should get rid of that sticker in the window and get stealth (white) bulbs for the blinkers - maybe after you get your new roundel! Looks good...

Here is the finished product. I bought a plug at a local hardware store. A little bit of Black RTV silicone sealant from NAPA and the job is done!!

My X5 no longer looks like a mini van!!!! :nanana:
