Change Side turn signals ?

Is there a way to change those white turn signals on the fenders ? I think if they are tinted or little bit darker it can look okay but now pure white design , i think they look terrible.. Any ideas how to change or modify those ?

Which turn signals do you mean? Can you post a picture?

I definitely agree. Something needs to be done about those side markers. They're huge, and IMO, an eyesore.

I hope the badges on the side, in particular the SDrive one is removable and there is no pin through the sheet metal. Assuming that is the case, a little fishing line, some dowels and a heat gun will take care of it quickly enough.

I believe you can remove badges.. If we can darken out turn signals, it can be awesome..

I asked for the side badges to be removed after I'd already placed my order and so, to avoid the danger of the car being placed at the back of the queue, my dealer told me that they'd do it once the car arrived at the showroom, explaining that they're only fixed on with glue.

I know now which ones you mean. I just wasn't sure since the US models have additional markings on the side.

Since ages the badges are only glued and can be removed by using a hair dryer to weaken the glue. There will be no damage to the painting.

Having them attached through the metal is something which was common in the 80's...
