I'm loving all the badges people!!
I wasn't going to put a badge on my MINI, but I ordered a red tow hook to match my pin stripes, and thought a red skull badge will offset the tow hook nicely. Just ordered a 3d badge and holder from Go-Badges and I'll post up a Pic when it comes in!!

Sounds like a good pick for your car. I love my badge - might have to get another to have extra ones to interchange here and there.

I got another badge. It's one of the anniversary badges (I bought two). My license plates are red white and blue so I thought they would look really nice together:

Go badges!

I have to agree with everyone else, GoBadges just seem to have their act together. I've worked with them for my local group, and sent artwork to them for our own badge. They had mine and others in the mail some 6 days faster than they had promised us, and I can't wait to get it on my 2012 Coupe!

Speaking of my Coupe, if you have one and want the badge from GoBadge, here is one piece of advice to you.... The grill on the Coupe is a pressed plastic grill, so it's one piece and has no space between the fins to put the velcro strap in place. This was taken care of by a friend of mine as we put our heads together and fastened my first badge "MOTD '12" w/a stainless steel screw that was short enough not to hit the radiator, but long enough to nicely secure the badge onto the grill. Note the pic and see how it looks on my Coupe. Also you'll notice the Euro-style plate we put on the same day...I think it really makes the front of the Coupe stand out!

Love the look of this one Beaux! Is this badge from Todds but in the Gobadges chrome holder? Might have to order the same for my white Countryman which is due next week!

Thank you so much. You're right - the badge is from this site:

http://motoringbadges.com/

and the chrome holder is from go badges.com. It fit perfectly. I took a chance when I ordered - but I liked the anniversary badge design and the fact the colors match my license plate colors that I thought I'd give it a try. The go badges is the best holder I think - easy to mount (I think it took me 30 seconds to do it) and it's great to be able to swap out badges if you want to.

I think it would great on a white mini too.

Thanks Beax, that's great. I'll get one ordered up (have also added Italian Job, classic Mini Cooper logo and Nurburgring ones too!).

Driving lights

I agree, the driving lights really makes your Mini stand out. Even though I have a Clubman and want driving lights, I think they really fit the Countryman better because of the increased size of the car. Your car look clean and neat with the lights and grill badge. Not sure if I could get all that on my Clubman.

I was at the dealership today so I asked about the new 10 year anniversary badge but they had no idea what i was talking about. Oh well.

I wonder if go badges or anyone else will make a Halloween badge (I know kind of random) but it's my favorite holiday and I'd love a pumpkin badge for October.

I really like the company as well. I sent an email about 11pm, that they should look into a symbol badge. I sent them some links. After a few emails the next morning, about copy right and such, they made the badge and put it on there site for preorder, that was about 11am. So in about 12 hours, they took my idea and had it on the site. This was not a custom badge, just an idea for something in the public domain. Cool folks.
