Opinions wanted- change Roundel colors?
My initial thought was to keep the Roundels the original colors to pay homage to the brand and history.
But, the colors don't blend with the back end of the M. Would you change the colors to better blend with the color scheme. Will load pics later.

Personally I would keep it as is. Never been a fan of altered roundels (including CF) - I've become so accustomed to the colored one that any deviation from that, even color matched, tends to draw more attention, which can be a bad thing.

I'm a proponent of switching the roundels to blend with the motif of you car. Realistically, the blue and white combo just doesn't stylistically coincide with some colors, Space Gray being one of them...

Ok...we have two altering opinions... Not surprising. I kind of feel both ways myself. Lol

Personally, I would keep it stock. Changing them is akin to changing the colors of a country's flag, to me.

My $.02, I'd keep with tradition vs. customizing.
For me, this would be like customizing the NFL Shield and/or your favorite NFL team's logo (Go Seahawks!), F1 TEAM and/or Driver and their logo, or whatever your passion is. I'm a sales guy and believe strongly in preserving THE brand. I've also shopped and bought used M and AMG cars and for whatever reason have always deterred from those with modified emblems. Call my too critical - to each their own. Again, just my $02. |

I don't think custom roundels age well either. |
