Things that annoy you beyond reason...(Vol 5)
Discussion
Me.
I'm clearly an idiot for assuming that buying a cheap BMW badge from ebay would be without problem.
Current one has degraded/cracked so thought I'd buy a replacement to stop the car looking even more council than it does already. No point in buying OEM, how bad can an ebay replica one be? I'm not after the last word in ultimate quality/durability etc. As long as it lasts a year or two, I'm happy.
After all, the advert claims:
"WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT OUR BADGE IS THE BEST QUALITY REPLACEMENT EMBLEM YOU CAN YOU CAN FIND ON EBAY"
Fitted yesterday evening.
FFS!
Suffice to say, I'm annoyed.
(One for the itchy teeth thread as well!)

And I can't remember the last time I saw a brush-painted panel on a car!

Car is filthy. Probably last washed 3 years ago. It's a shed, I'm not too precious over it.Got a full refund on the badge (obvs). Might just keep it on like this. My laziness in buying and fitting a new badge probably outweighs my annoyance at it being squint.
