DOes anyone know of a source for the original two part bonnet badge with raised letters? I remember hplug i think it was doing some a while ago? If not this might be a part to get made up out of machined aluminium?
Bonnet badge
- Thread starter 30csl
- Start date
Hayes was making the rear bases. Interesting, BMW shows the front and rear bases available again, wonder if the badge has the raised letters?

New roundels have a bit of a raised feel to them, though they are not as raised as the original ones.
i do have the original emblems and surprisingly both front and rear have a round support (parts 5 and 9), then the emblem, painted alu with raised letters are the same
And the rear has a gasket too
I have the original emblem on the hood of my coupe. Metallic / solid with enamel infill.
The rear looks to have been replaced and is plastic? Are these new BMW badges cast with enamel or formed plastic?

They are formed plastic, as far as I can tell. Have one on my M3.

raised letter roundels
Hey Guys,
I was doing these for a while and although I did have some luck with both front and rear raised letter roundels and 2 piece these are a real pain. Towards the end these were running $250 for the set. The issue is I usually had to order several bases and roundels to find a match. There is such a small amount of tolerance to make them fit some would work and some would not. I have had better luck with the rears than the fronts and I am currently working on a set for a fellow couper. I have had my hands on hundreds of these and it can be done.
I would not recommend trying to fabricate these out of alum. as they will never look right.
