Any where to get a 78mm trunk roundel that is not $40-$50

snik 05-02-2020 12:00 PM

I picked up a black X5 trunk badge off ebay as soon as I got this thing.
I wish they made black 4.8iS badges, but I refuse to plastidip it for the same reasons mentioned.
But seeing the only chrome is the 4.8 and the roundels. I live with it.

I think those days are done.
Especially the larger ones.

I remember when roundels were like $25.

I'll check around here in the Middle East. I may be able to pull one that hasn't become too sun roasted and let folks know the costs if anyone is interested.

I’ve been needing one for the rear as well. It got punctured somehow. I was looking at the black ones. My front was so bad my indy replaced it for free. He chose the blue color. So I’ll probably just get a new blue for the rear.

The carbon fiber look kind of grew on me though. But I’m not going to complain, I like free.

I've never used them. I think they can be okay... but I always like a brand a new set of OE badges. :dunno:

On any dark color I agree. But imola, TiAg, and alpine scream for black badging. I take that back. Alpine can go either way. But silver and imola... almost have to be black. Especially imola.

^LoL, and all of that is subjective obviously.

No, I hear ya! It’s been hard to warm up to chrome on silver. If my wheels were not oem, forget about it. I can’t wait for the day to redo them.

Do you guys take your cars to the dealer for alignments.
I know they claim to do the steering angle sensor and zero it out properly, then align, but do you guys know of any other places that will do reset the sensor and all while not charging the premium the dealership does?
