Bonnet Badge on E39
Discussion
Hi,
The bonnet badge on my E39 is looking a bit manky so I've bought a replacement. I just want to know how best to get the old one off (I don't really want to end up forking out for a bonnet respray after having a go at it with a cold chisel and a 4lb lump hammer if there is a better apporach
).
Oh, and securing the new one; what's best to use?
Cheers
Anthony

The badge on mine is slightly wonky, but I don't know how this can be possible!
Where did you get the new one? Mine is also a little cracked.
FleaBay is your friend! Mine is new (wouldn't like to guarantee it is OEM though...but it might be) but there were also second-hand ones on there being sold by car breakers, etc. Either way, should be able to get one for less than a tenner...Where did you get the new one? Mine is also a little cracked.

Be very careful not to break the pins - they are plastic, and brittle at this age. It will be an utter pain to get the pins out if they snap!
...and there was me thinking it would be a breeze!Thanks for the heads-up - I'll try to be slightly less ham-fisted than I usually am then...!
