Already done, Ali. The ends were slightly corroded, so I sought and fitted a new pair. To be honest, the boot operates slightly better, but they look much nicer without the brown bits!

Sadly not, Arit. It was already clearly stated by BMW that only body parts are covered by the 12 year anti-corrosion, and badges etc are not covered.
With the exception of the boot hatch frame itself, all original parts are refitted, so I'll ensure that they have in hand all my new badging, plus the new bits already on the car itemised for refitting.
If the car was under 3 years old, they'd cover the badges too, but not at 7.

Got #127 back from Sytner Cardiff's body shop late today, and boy have they done a fine job! Really pleased. I also had them do a front bumper and splitter flat and paint and again, top notch job. New graphics to fit and she's back to as she should be, without the battle scars

I picked up some badging I don't require: I'll make a listing in the parts for sale, and I'm open to reasonable offers if anything takes anyone's fancy.

Well if your car is outdoors I'd keep the "new" badges for spares and sell the rest

It isn't, and I'm super-fastidious. I'll see what members want from the pile I have. May help someone, and cheaper than from the counter.

RRP on those I gave is on the parts I listed. Only the boot roundel (approx £43list) and ALPINA badge (approx £150 list) were priced individually. The B3sBiturbo badge was one cost (about £146 list) but is now split so I will sell seperately. Offers are invited.
