R53 Emblems - Pins or Glue?

Just wondering what was pinned and what was glued on the R53. I'm guessing the hood/trunk Mini are both pinned, and the CooperS is glued. Is that correct?

When I removed my front emblem prior to installing clearbra, I found that it was fastened by tape and it was also pinned. I would guess the wings on the hatch are similar. "Cooper S" on the tailgate is taped on.

yah, the pin is there more for alignment so that the operator doesn't
accidentally mount it vertically.

The winged MINI emblems have 2 alignment pins that fit into 2 holes about 5 mm in diameter. The tape holds them on. The chrome lettering is just taped.
