Help Me Find It... MINI Wings Badge!

Okay, I bought my fiance this really cool purse....



... and I've been surfing the internet for weeks, trying to find a pair of MINI Wings badges to make the purse even more cool. I'd rip the ones off the bonnet and boot of my MINI, but....

Anyone know where I can buy them ????

Thanks in advance !

Thanks, IsA. I did see that on E-bay and it is interesting. But I'm looking for the current generation MINI Wings badge.

Appreciate the effort !!

I usually order from MINI of Peabody. I checked their website and didn't see them offered. I'll give them a call tomorrow and ask if they can get me a pair.

Thanks, Yucca.

Just ordered a pair from MINI of Peabody. I got the ones that go one the "S" bonnet as they're a little larger. They're slightly curved, too... hoping they match the curve of the purse well enough to hold on with some good glue.

Just a little "pricier" than I had imagined... $39 each.

Thanks for the help, folk.

CR/PW I got the wings for my purse off E-Bay. I had to cut the little plastic prong thingies off & I too was worried about them sticking because of the curve of my purse. But, even though it is not flush on the top & bottom the wings have stayed put for over 2 years.

Thanks... I didn't see anything on E-bay that I thought would work.

If these don't fit quite right, I'll send them back and keep looking.

Gracias, Senorita TT.

I have bought "unofficial" cloth MINI patches on ebay a few times, and they are very good. They also come from China .

I have had them sewn onto jackets, shirts, and even my dogs winter jackets. They look great.

To get to that Union Jack purse, click on "LE Designer" and then "fender handbags".

Enjoy !

I may be the originator of adding MINI wings to the Littlearth UJ purse but...
I am always glad to share things from the vast creative fortress that resides in my head
plus now I won't feel guilty when I totally copy CR&PW's garage

By that time, I may have a different garage at a different house in a different State.

See, now I think how-tos of customizing swag for our MINIs would be a great, cheeky little feature for MC2. MINI culture at it's finest...and there's some great ideas out there!!! (thinking of StoopidGirls's necklace made out of a former MINI keychain.)
