Look good. I've finally got my private plates on, only taken 6 weeks after BMW cock ups along with DVLA cock ups.

How did you wrap the M5 badge? I kinda wish i'd ticked the de-badge option as not a fan of my front badge & i like the discretion that the de-badge would provide.

With respect, that looks awful.

De-badge doesn't get rid of the front badge, only way is to swap the grilles out for some pre-lci ones.

Really? I reckon the front badge just unclips as it kind of looks stuck on rather than a permanent fixture, i'm just not brave enough to pull it off as would no doubt cause hundreds of ££'s of damagesmile

+1, but it's your chariot fella. More suited to a corsa. Less is more?

I ticked the debadge on the rear and put a request in to have the other three badges taken off for extreme stealth

A genuine M5 badge for £5? No wonder every feckin 520d has one.

Worse still, BMW now supply the M Sport models with an "M" badge on each wingfrown

They are imitation Carbon so hardly "Genuine" but each to his own.

Looks better then mine. I bought gloss black off eBay, the red and blue bit is a sticker and the sun has faded the red to almost white. Flaming rubbish.
