Hair dryer , no need for one , so haven't got .

Fishing line and dental floss neither .


The ultimate probably have equipment is WD40 and a kettle .

Spray WD40 and leave to soak , boil kettle and pour , the badges almost fall off .
As dentists advise, only floss the teeth you want to keep...:cool:;)

When I removed mine all I did was pulled them off with my fingernails, cleaned up with some thinners and then lashings of polish. They weren't particularly stuck down hard so not difficult at all :rolleyes::)

My eye sight must be crap but I'll hazard a guess its badged as a Brabus, got a dodgy set of exhausts and some 24 carrat chav light tints and flared arches to to make it look baaad bruv.

Shame after spending all that he couldn't afford a light bulb!

Some things are just best left alone.

There is an awful lot like that about, common as muck :D
Indeed Andy, those 'M' style strips on the grille are just about on every 'private' BMW I see (Not mine of course!) horrid :(
