Should I debadge my car?

synclastica_86 · 12-29-2013, 04:07 AM

I've already removed the "435i" at the back as I want to achieve a cleaner look. I am thinking about removing the M badges above the boomerang as well. Some of my fds warned me that without something there, the panel would appear very empty. What do u guys think?

debadge!

Nothing there looks better. Clean, simple & elegant.

Debagde it ... "less is more"

synclastica_86 · 12-31-2013, 10:45 PM

Done!

Less is more...especially with badges I always take them all off day one.

Looks nice and clean without them.

i like the scene more than the car itself

Hi guys, how did you take the badges off? Little hair dryer and a fishing line still work?

I was thinking of taking off just the xdrive badge.

No more badges, except for the front and back roundel.
Cleaner like this.

Now everyone will think you got a cheap 316i and ashamed to show the badge.

Excellent

I love the Sleeper look, and surprise people when I hammer it !

Plus, soooooooo much better when polishing/waxing.
