Engine / Valve cover badge

Hopefully, I've posted this in the right forum area!

Anyone know of an alternate badge for the 1st gen engine cover? I'm detailing the engine bay & the existing 'MINI' doesn't look quite right.

Not looking for anything with vendor ID or 'supercharged' on it ( it's an R50). Maybe the MINI winged badge tastefully etched on - not too blingy

Only other one I ever saw was: "1.6L" I think....it's a MINI oem piece.

May find one at Aesthetic Creations if you don't mind waiting for it.

You can always remove the original badge and show off the 1.6l power house.

My 2006 R50 does not have the "1.6L 16 Valve" under the Mini sticker. Its just blank. I peeled off the Mini sticker and now it looks stupid haha. Oh well.

HAHA that kind of sucks nopistons. Now you really need a solution. what about buying the "cooper" logo that's on the back of the car? Or if you order the biggest set of MINI wings you can find, you could just cut the posts off the back and apply it.
