just a thank you to RENNZPORT for the gift, cant remember when last ive actually won something in any kind of competition :)
i selected the carbon fibre roundels for the E46 from the choices avaidible..

the girlfriends e46 was the recipient of this set of roundels, since mine already has a set on.. all i can say is that these look really good on a black car, imho one of the best cosmetic mods you can do to your bmw :thumbsup:

ill post some more pics once the car has had a proper cleaning again, only downside of a black car, difficult to keep clean.

Looks very nice! Been thinking of doing this to mine, and I reckon it will suit the Sparkling Graphite colour too! Was this not only Front/rear, but wheel roundels too?

How did you remove the roundels? I received mine as well but the original one's on the E90 are so freaken tightly stuck, scared to damage the paint.

i reckon these will look stunning on a graphite colour.. this set was only for the bonnet and bootlid, but im sure they carry the wheel rondels too?

i use a table knife with a cloth.. protect the paint with a folded double piece of cloth, then lever the roundel gently from both sides. on the e46 the roundel is held on by two pins pressed into rubber grommets, i think the e90 should be the same?

Will have to do this at some point, bonnet/boot and wheels, probably could do the roundel on the steering wheel too - saw a pic showing a carbon roundel on an OEM steering wheel...

Whichever works at the end of the day. I heard another good way was to use an old credit card between the paint and the roundel with a flat knife or screwdriver (knife probably better). Protect the paint but the original roundel will most likely get hurt. :dunno:

The Carbon looks great on the Sprakling Graphite!!
