Wing vent M5 emblem....where from?

FTen · 09-07-2021, 06:44 AM

Changing my wing vents to black ones (personally hate the factory chrome versions) but need to buy new ///M5 emblems as I don't fancy removing the existing ones, does anyone know where to get them from? My car is a 2016 LCI

TIA

FTen, you can usually just take off the chrome (now black) surround and add them to your existing vents with the logo. They're easy to remove.

Fantastic! I'll give that a go, thanks for your help

You mean the chrome surround,it can only be removed with a plastic trim remover being careful not to break the fixing tabs with masking tape on the body work to not scratch the paint.
I carbon wrapped mine with a roll I bought online though you need a little patience with doing it applying hair drier heat.

I also wrapped mine in vinyl. First thing I ever wrapped and it was pretty easy.

Thanks everyone, I did as suggested and split the chrome from the originals, worked a treat!
