I do not own an M10, although I used to have an M9. I have both a Q and a CL. Neither came with a plastic bottom. Does this mean that they are not real Leicas, incapable of giving the Leica GLOW?

Should I be worried? Or feel deprived?

Can I buy plastic bottoms for these cameras?

BTW - I finally removed both labels from my black M10 after the top one degraded to "ugly" condition. 151-proof rum did the trick, although the stickum is, well, recalcitrant. ;)

And yes, a faint shadow of the electronics label remains - should fade with time.

Oh well, I was hoping to hear a clear „It WILL fade over time“ from someone who already did it a while ago. Now we can only hope ;)

Thanks anyway, I guess I will dare it soon! 

Can always get a sticker plastered replacement part in case I really need it.

I have an M8 with the plastic still on the bottom and an M5 without.   A related question:  Why can't I find a slim plastic case for protection of the M5 body?  There are leather ones of varying ugliness and/or priciness.  There is a manufacturer who makes them for other M models but does not have one for the M5.
