You cant buy bmw brake logos anymore!

Im gonna paint my calipers black. I was thinking about getting the bmw brake logos for the calipers too. Well bmw put a stop to that. They wont allow their logos to be sold anymore. Im sure some china ebay thing will pop up, but I wanted to order from a regular website.

This is where I was gonna order from. If you click on bmw on the left side, you will see that the decals are no longer offered. Hopefully a vendor around here will offer them. Yes I wanna copy the bmw logo like on the 1 series.

I swear we have the same projects. Just got my m6 reps and they show waaay too much of my rusty calipers and rotor hubs. Over thanksgiving break I'm going to paint them up. Want to do a DIY for the g2 kit? Let me know if you will be doing yours around the same time. Maybe we can get a group together haha. I don't want anything too flashy, just want to get rid of the freaking rust on these parts...

Wow, thats crazy. Im not sure when im actually gonna paint mine. Sometime soon once I order the kit. Another guy wanted to meet up as well. We should all get together and do it.

Although I take a long time and do it all slow and proper.

^Really? I have heard G2 is really resistant to heat etc.

Any other recommendations? Any other opinions about G2?

My previous car had a number of track days on it with painted calipers. It looked just like the day I painted them when I sold it

G2 worked great for me. Painted them a year ago and they still look like the day I painted them, very surprised its held up so well and still has a nice shine.

Did a before being told it was a , and search works !

Anyway, just can't believe that BMWNA is such an an*l bunch of loosers.
They are the only car manufacturer that asked that their image, signature and logo would not be used.

As anyone found a new distributor for the BMW and roundel decals ?

Any vinyl shop can handle this. All you have to do is provide them an image file
