Debadge or Gloss Black 135i emblem on a Lemans Blue 135i
I know the question of debadging has been asked and answered many times. However, I'm trying to decide whether to completely remove my 135i emblem or install a gloss black 135i emblem on my Lemans Blue 135i.
First some additional information about my car. My car has the M Sport package and I've previously installed gloss black BMW performance grilles on my car to match the other black trim on the car. Because I liked the look of the gloss black grilles on the car I decided to order a gloss black 135i emblem. Now I'm second guessing myself about the whether I should install the gloss black 135i emblem and just debage the car. I also have a black BMW license plate frame. Any thoughts or especially pictures of a Lemans Blue car without the badge or with a gloss black 135i emblem would be great. Here is a picture of the gloss black grilles on my car so you can see how the gloss black looks with the blue.

Thanks RaihaX. At this point I'm leaning that way.

+1 My vote is for the gloss black badge. The black would look really good on your car color. Represent that badge! Here is a picture of what it would look like.

Thanks guys for the input. I guess I'm going to have to try the gloss black emblem like I originally intended. If I don't like it I can always take it off.

Well I decided since I'd already purchased the gloss black 135i emblem that I had to try it. So tonight I took off the OEM emblem and put the gloss black 135i on the car. I have to say I really like it and it's a perfect match for the other trim.

LOL! Yea I thought about that too. The other day I had a guy at a gas station ask me if the car was some type of BMW prototype since he had never seen a 1 series BMW before. There are few few 1s in my area, but you would think the guy had seen one before.
