Front Grille Emblem Mount
I just purchased some aftermarket carbon fiber double-slat grilles from AutoTechnic this week: https://autotecknic.com/products/aut...10-5-series-m5
I was going to transfer the m5 badge from my old grilles over and realized the mount for the badge was actually fixed to the grille. I assumed it was clipped in. I want to retain the m5 badge on my new grilles but I can't find an OEM part number a black plastic insert to mount the badge to. I've seen some aftermarket options like this but I'm concerned about the fit and finish: https://www.ebay.com/itm/31393314478...#38;media=COPY Has anyone attempted to do something similar?

Oh yeah, they look just like the original badges at first. But it's after some time that it starts to look terrible.
That's actually a good idea though. I'd buy this and see if it does yellow over time. If it does, keep the mount, and just replace the badge with an OE from the dealer. |

M5_Raz got some Carbon grilles for my M6 from someone on the FB group new in box unbranded, fit perfect looks very nice. 6 months later they are so yellow that they don't even match with my carbon lip lol, and the M6 badge which is an adhesive sticker kind of like the "M" stickers that you buy for the M wheels. That part looks like it's being dissolved by acid lol. Whelp... time to buy a new one. Also need new CF mirror caps, bought those used and they're already shot. I don't care enough to spend real CF money on those parts though.

I just went through this. grills and little inserts for less than 30$ on alibaba. they look great. Ill just keep buying new ones if they fade at this price point.
