Shaving Mz3 Sides

I was thinking about doing this myself, probably the first "mod" I'll be doing to my 06 Mz3. I got the car with several dings above the moldings, so I don't think they are doing much.

BTW, laraw, you have the cleanest 3 I have seen to this date, I'm absolutely in love with your car.

Well thank you so much. =) =)
 
Okay, got some good non-rain day-time photos of the car, and it dosen't even look that dirty having been in three days of rain/wet streets. Now you can clearly see a hatchback with no side molding

On a unrelated note, any chance of having .jpg attachment size increased to 2.0 MB from 1.95 MB. One of my photos was exactly 1.96 MB and I had to resize it to upload as a thumbnail and be courteous. Too much work!

That looks great... but take off the 2.3 badges (or move them to be even with the sidemarkers)... they look odd since they are kind of floating there now.
 
Didn't even think of that. I'll take a look into it tommorrow. If they're just held on with adhessive will be easy to remove. If I decide to put them back on, what would be a good product to use?

If you heat them up and pull them off carefully, leaving the adhesive intact on the 2.3 badges it would be easy enough just to reuse it. Otherwise, 3M molding adhesive (sold at any auto store) will do the trick. :)
