How to Remove the Chrome from the Rear Badge of a BMW

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Manufacturer emblem

In this video, we will see how to remove the chrome part from the rear badge of a BMW by simply wrapping it, that is, covering it with vinyl. This is an easy, economical, and above all reversible solution at any time. Start by cleaning and degreasing the badge and the area around it with isopropyl alcohol. Meanwhile, purchase a piece of vinyl (glossy or matte, according to your preference). Isolate the area around the chrome with bodywork tape, and then shape the vinyl using a heat gun or a high-capacity hairdryer. With a sharp craft knife (and a steady hand), cut around the excess vinyl. And there you have it.
