    M tech 1 wheel badge

    Will the 3 stripe badge that goes on bottom fit on the left and right handles to? im pretty sure i've seen a pic of it but was it a direct fit or altered?

    

    see how the 3 stripe badge is in the bottom gap? will it fit in the left and right gaps? if so can i see a pic?

    It doesn't fit well in those gaps (slightly different shape on the bottom spoke), but it can be done. IMO, leave it as is. Even if they did fit well it looks better and cleaner to not put ///M stripes everywhere they fit on your car.

        ya i guess your right. thats kinda why i want the smaller diameter wheel. im way to big of a perfectionist and hate those empty gaps there.

          I've popped it off and sprayed it semi-gloss black on several of my cars over the years and it blends way better than the M colors .

            Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

              do you have any pictures? That sounds like it looks good.

                Hmm, I like the ///M colors on mine! Put a new one on it actually.

                  Don't put three on there. Keep it the way it came
                  from the factory.
