I removed the badges with the intent of installing the black M240 badge to match the rest of the shiny black trim, but I’m really liking the look with nothing on it. I may keep it this way. I’m definitely going to live like this for a few days and see how it grows on me.

Been mulling this over vs. getting the black badge... not sure after seeing this but maybe from other more distant angles I'd like it more.

I’m definitely not sure either but I figured I can easily put the black badge on anytime. I wanted to live with it like this for a while and see. Your user name gave me a chuckle!

It looks like you did a great job taking them off cleanly. Any advice on how to get the badges off without causing damage? Was there any residue left behind from the adhesive?

Get it hot with a blow dryer. Then use dental floss and slowly go back and forth using it as a saw. Once the badge is off peel as much off of the residue off with your fingers as you can by rolling your finger back and forth over it. Then use goo gone and a plastic razer scraper you can get on Amazon. Took me about 5 minutes.

Glad you did this was going to do it to see how it looks. I think I'll actually go black badges after seeing it.

So did I.

Any reason for the extra wide spacing?

Might be the angle of the pic and/or my eyes but also looks a bit left, high and off square..?

That’s how it came. I didn’t place each letter individually. It comes on a backing so you don’t have to place each letter individually.You just apply it all at once like a bumper sticker. I got it from AliExpress. I refuse to pay the insane price for the OEM one. I didn’t even notice it until I looked at another one. Doesn’t bother me.

No it’s not the picture. It’s off. I did it wrong. I already ordered another to fix it. You can’t really notice it unless you stare at it but I want it perfect so I am going to do it again.I placed it gently as a test thinking I could still move it to align it but the adhesive is super strong and it was already stuck.

Can imagine it would be tricky if no reference and you've been running blank for a while, good luck with the next one
