I have the carbon badges all round- personally think it looks class, understated mod. Got mine from ebay and reckon I got lucky for quality.

Couple of tips tho, go for the Real carbon badges, be very careful in choosing wheel roundels (they need to be a tight fit my first ones fell out when the wheels got hot around nordschliffe 2nd set very good for star spoke 230s) for the steering wheel DON'T try to remove the existing badge!! the new badge will just stick over it bonnet and boot are a pig to get out but doubled over dental floss should do it!

I thought the bonnet and boot came off pretty easy.

I used an old gasket scraper (I made from a sharpened giant hacksaw blade 1.5" wide)
and some insulation tape over the sharp end.
That sucker will prose off any trim without damaging it.
The front isnt glued and just levers off...

I like mine, and had a chuckle about the steering wheel emblem.
I almost trashed the cover and then looked at the replacement and it dawned on me just in time
