My 78mm black and white bonnet side badges had faded and I had been struggling to find replacements. Luckily I managed to get 20 new ones for £24 from China. I now have 18 spares They just stick over the original ones..I know they will fade in a couple of years but at least I have plenty of spares. They are aliminium not just cheap stickers. Anyone want a couple I would be happy to post them.

Hi. I got them from the Aliexpress app. The search is a bit hit and miss and they often don't have pictures of the bmw logo. Probably due to bmw not liking cheap replicas. Mine where described as epoxy aliminium bmw badge. Hope this helps, I wasn't over optimistic but am pleasantly surprised.

I bought some of these but had to send them back as they wouldn’t fit my wheelsBMW Floating Alloy Wheel Centre Cap Set. Christmas present from Mrs. Penny, @Mark Parrish gets the blame for these as he put the idea in her head

Well got round to doing the headlights today. Am pleased with the results and it was quite simple, bit scary at the start. I did F up a bit as slipped once and need to T cut a bit of bumper scratches lol.
Scary bit
Nice bit
Finished
Any tips on UV protection?
Have a read of the packaging the polish came in. It may have UV inhibitor in it, mine has.
Tony.
3M one I got doesn't, so knew I would need the UV protection as a final step
Meguiar's Headlight Protectant works fine for me!
Have you restored your headlights previously then use the meguiars regularly?
I had restored them on my E39 a couple of years ago and protected them with Meguiar's regularly. When I sold the car after two years the lights still looked as good as new.
What a minefield on the Headlight protection. Meguiars is discontinued but can still get some online, there are so many choices ; lacquers, sprays, liquids. Some permanent, some semi and some to be done weekly/monthly. In the end I went with 3M Quick Headlight Cleaner and Restorer Coat Wipes. Only because I used the 3M restorer kit in first place. Its meant to last a year or so? Its arriving today so will stick it on over the weekend.
Used the 3M wipes today for the uv protection. Time will tell I guess. They are transformed at the moment
Look great……….
