Where to buy car emblems and logos?

As you can see in the picture I've attached, there is a plastic 'Jeep' logo that snaps into the hole in the center of my wheels. I noticed the other day that one of mine is missing. I have no idea how it popped out, as they're in there pretty tight. But regardless, now I need another one. I'm figuring the junkyard is probably as good a place as any to get something like that. Sound good?


Now, my friend has a '97 (I believe) BMW 318i and the the BMW logo has come off both the hood and the trunk. However, on his BMW, it appears as though there's a silver plastic 'plaque' that's popped onto the hood and the trunk, and then just a BMW sticker stuck to that. Is there a good place to buy just the sticker? Perhaps there's a place online that sells them? Any leads?

Thanks!

    You should be able to buy the cap for your wheel on Ebay. I lost one of those on my Durango a few years ago somehow and bought a set on the 'bay for pretty cheap.

    Call the dealer. If not try a google for OEM Jeep Parts (your town, NC.) (Close Major City, NC.)

    Wow, how do you have so little tread on that tire?

    I'd recommend searching online or through eBay.

    Flea bay, a junkyard, or one of those hubcap stores. Don't go to the dealer. I'd bet they're gonna be $20, or even more for the center cap. When you get the new one put a dab or three of clear silicone on the outer rim of it, you won't lose it as easily. For the BMW logo, there may be some aftermarket place that does reproductions, but with licensing rights you may be stuck with the stealership.

    I got a couple of BMW emblems off e-bay that are original parts. I think it was about $30 for two shipped. Otherwise, check the group buy section on bimmerforums.com, there are specials on there every now and then.

    Thanks to everyone for the ideas. I think I'll check out a junkyard for the Jeep first.

    I'm pretty sure those German's make it fairly easy to get replacement emblems and logos, I'd try the dealer for those (I've done it before with no issues for BBS OEM fitted wheels on a VW, and the hood star for MBZ).

    You might try Tirerack for the Jeep Wheel emblem. I ordered wheels from them once for my 330i and they included BMW center caps for them.

    You can get BMW emblems HERE.
