Hood and Trunk Roundel FULL DELETE?
I've always wondered if anyone has a full roundel delete on their 3 series. By this I mean if anyone has removed the roundels, used a filler compound to smooth out the indent and achieve a truly "debadged" look. Every car I've owned I've basically removed all badging to the point of people being unable to determine what car it is, and just got me curious as to if anyone's done it with their bimmer. Searching on this forum and others pretty much came up empty.

That's interesting, usually I feel those CF hoods/trunks come with the roundel indent. I will be wrapping my car in a month or so and need to remove the roundels anyway, so the ideal of going totally badge-less is intriguing. I don't know if I'd be able to fill the indents perfectly though

I personally love my roundels but this is a pretty sweet idea. I would like to see how it turns out!

oooooh that looks nice. Even though I said I wasn't planning on doing this, I was quoted $500 from a local reputable BMW autobody guru for welding, filling, sanding, paint-match, and clear coat for both the hood and trunk. $300 for hood and trunk without paintmatch and clearcoat (just primer) as I'm wrapping soon anyway. Does this sound like a good deal?

How are you gonna tell me that that's not a seibon trunk LOL?
I only bought it from seibon, have the receipt, and is branded seibon on the inside with their emblem. Hmmmm...I guess I don't have a seibon trunk!? EDIT: And I guess you didn't read how I painted my Seibon CF trunk colormatched alpine white. And my car is a 330i which is MY2006 exclusive, but now it has the LCI 09-11 taillights/trunk. |

I mainly got it for the LCI rear conversion. But the weight savings does make a difference. |
