A new twist on an old fav
 

Well I was bored so I changed out the front and rear roundels for the carbon fiber look. Then I realized my steering wheel roundel didn't match, and it was worn a little, so I changed it. Then I realized that my center caps needed the matching CF scheme too, but I wanted to run the bimmer spinners for a while longer. So I got some roundel appliqués and now have modded spinning CF center caps... boredom is the mother of cheesy inventions.

Looks cool. I like it. :thumbup:

Lookin good :thumbup: .

Thanks guys :thumbup:

What are you looking for? The center caps, or steering wheel, or hood/trunk emblems? I email a guy who I used to buy stuf from on eBay. Now I go direct and save a few bucks. I'll send you his info. It is pretty inexpensive, about 1/3 of Bimmian's prices.


Here's a quick shot of the wheel and one of the hood:

Looks very nice Kevin.

Matches your interior and paint perfectly, Kevin.

Are those just the stick-on's, are did you buy the roundels that way?

The hood and trunk are new complete roundels that replace the factory emblems. The steering wheel piece is metal and plastic that replaces or covers the OEM roundel. The wheel center caps come as full caps or metal and plastic roundels that apply to the surface. These are not the vinyl stickers that you apply over the factory roundels.

Looks great, Kevin!! Nice job! :thumbup:

I need a hood roundel for my '01 X5...where can I find the best price and how much should I expect to pay? Do emblem grommets have to be purchased also? I probably seem to be illiterate when it comes to these things, but my husband won't be doing this for me.

looks nice.

Hi Daphne. You can get a hood roundels from eBay and you can get the adhesive appliqué-type from bimmian.com or eBay. For the hood, I did not have to replace the gromets, just forced the old emblem off and then pressed the new on into place. It goes on there very tight but I put some 3M emblem glue under it anyway.

Good luck!
