Replacement letters/numbers.

Post by 4.8isFred » Wed Feb 15, 2012 6:43 pm

Discovered today i have lost the letter S off the front wing where the 4.8is badging is placed.

Could anyone advise on where i could purchase one, and on how much it should cost.



Just curious did any X5 models have rear badging placed on them to convey on which engine is under the bonnet, other than the front wing badging?

Thanks.

Got mine from the dealer. It comes complete as '4.8 is'. Can't remember the price from memory.

And as far as I'm aware the designation was only on the wings.

Hi, this may give you a good start as pukka stuff;

Only X5 is ever on the rear and nothing else.

Cheers fella's.

Thanks for the link Paul, i'll look down this avenue. I think a tailgate badge would look ok on the x5, any thoughts?

Would be handy if they sold the letters seperate like, as i dont require the full badge.

Your welcome.

I have just had to order the "X5" for my boot as realised i dont have one and that i should !

Have a route through the seller i gave you the link to, there may be another car that just uses the letter that you need.
