Hope your feeling better. Good luck with fitting the badge without getting frostbite if you've not already done it lol.

Think they look a little to small personally. But I bet it handles better with them!

cracked on today and had a go at replacing the front grill badge



pretty easy to remove actually,the worst part was to come removing the badge itself

this pic shows where i had to grind down the plastic tabs to get the chrome badge out


line the new badge up and turn to lock into place

fitted result



altogether about an hour job done ;)
cheers

Keep the Ultraleggeras, they are a great looking wheel and you got them in the best colour. Will look much better once dropped! :happy2:
