Hi all. I see images of M2C’s with the three M colors placed in the three indented areas on the front splitter as shown below. Can anyone tell me what they are called and where I might find them? Been looking w/o success.

Thanks. Contented

They're part of the m performance decal kit. Part number 51142456835

Just do a google search for the part number and you can find who sells it for the best price.

Thank you so much. Where in Pa? I’m originally from venango county.

Btw, I appreciate the info but the appreciate button is grayed out.

Hadn't thought of that place in a while. Once on a road trip from philly to Pitt, we took the long way through I-80 to take the scenic route back through the National forest, and I believe we cut across the county. Beautiful place!

The M Decal Kit contains a lot more than just the front decals. I like the decal kit but didn't want it all on my car. When I had my car PPF'd, I had the shop add them on for significantly less than the whole kit. Consider this as an option if you have a PPF/Wrap shop nearby. They will probably have Oracal 951 Premium vinyl in stock. I don't remember the thread but I took a screenshot of it.

Big Thanks to member SEAT TIME RULES in that thread where he posted the exact M colors in Oracal's 951 line:
031, Red
555, Glacier Blue
564, Light Navy

I had these colors put on and they match the M badge on the grill perfectly.

Exactly as SilverScotty said, try a nearby wrap shop and ask them to do it. I just had the same question a little over a week ago and BAN_M2C gave me the same advice. I also plan to add the colors to my car as soon as the shops open back up.

Yep, had Extreme Colors Auto Spa make mine. They wrap all the BMW Performance Center cars so they have the vinyl always there!

Perfect, they are within a reasonable drive for me. Will give them a call.

I’m new to all of this, so thanks to all for the helpful info.

Friends don't let friend do the striped grilles or these color inserts. 🤣

For real though, I do stupid aesthetical stuff to my car all the time so I shouldn't talk.

Good luck finding the stripes of your dreams

if you know the proper colors you can also order it from metrorestyling.com.

Its honestly not very hard to wrap those three spots yourself. Just need an exacto knife or knifeless tape if you arent comfortable cutting that close to your paint.

Talk to Doug or to Sheldon, tell them Esteban sent you, they will treat you well.

$36 and the three Oracal 951 colors and a credit card sized squeegee are on their way from rvinyl.com. About four years ago I watched a very talented installer put Xpel paint protection film on my 2017 Mini Cooper. Week ago Friday, the same guy again came to my garage and installed Xpel Ultimate ppf on the M2C. He installed, I watched, all while we talked music and politics. Almost like taking a class. All of that observing gives me the confidence to do this straightforward project. Just finished cutting paper templates. Will transfer those to the colors, cut and do a wet install. My toolbox may even get the colors.

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe I'll get it on and won't like it. Hopefully not.

Again, my thanks to everyone. Much appreciated.
