BMW Badge

Post by nicks85 »

Hey all,

I was thinking of getting the badge threaded so that I can use some nuts to screw it down securely.

Or, use some strong glue?

Any ideas?

Cheers

I take it we're talking about the roundel on the bonnet or boot.My advice,for what its worth,is to get some new little rubber reseptical grommet type things and just fit it as normal.If some dipshit decides to nick it then there's no damage.Fix it solid and they start with the tools. :hammer I've been there courtesy of The Beastie Boys! :wtf
There's one out there with my name on it.

That is a good point.

Any idea what type of glue I could use?

No glue,they just sit there and even at 120mph they don't move :launch

Double topic removed, with 2 grommets from the dealer that set you back abt 2p the badge will be secured in place again. Don't use glue.
