The Cooper Flags has two different CROC badges and 3 different CROC decals advertised here: http://www.cooperflags.com/motorbadges.cfm?cid=11

I've never dealt with them - anyone bought stuff from them?

I have in the past and was very happy with the product. Alas, they seem to be having some problems more recently (e.g. past six months or so) and complaints continue to pile up. Do a search for more info.

I would like to join this group of discerning Mini owners. I have had great fun driving, and throwing great wads of $ into, my new Mini. The roof and mirrors are now gloss black. I also have gloss black stripes with silver borders to install. I am planning on having a side branch resonator installed in the hopes of eliminating a bad drone from the JCW exhaust.

So to all the Chili Red owners.... Do you guys feel that the red mini attracts more attention? Possibly more eyes from police? I have a Pepper White JCW on order but was wondering about Red before it goes into production.

Well... I think it goes without saying that the red ones are faster...

joking aside.. I'm sure the bright Chili Red colors do attract more attention, except for maybe color-blind police, but in the end... I believe police see it as a MINI, which most perceive (true or false; right or wrong) as a rather slow car when compared to conventional sports car.

I personally love my CR/W MINI now that I've owned it for 2 years... even though I swore all my life I'd never own a red car.... go Chili Red!!

I have had mine since 11/1/2011. So far....no problems. I do seem to drive more and more "exuberantly" the more comfortable I get with the car, though so I'm not sure how long my luck will last......

I'd love to use the badge as my avatar on the Kentucky Bluegrass MINI club site. Thank you for your help on this lil question.

So did you ever get an answer to your question on the logo or badge? I asked the same thing & haven't gotten a response yet. Let me know if you got any info....thanks!

This is something you're on your own to do.

Here's a link to a couple of pages of different sig pics.

I think what juggerknot89 wants to know is where to buy decals and badges that you can apply to your car? Is that what you want, juggerknot? I bought a CROC t-shirt from Cafe Press (search for MINI and you will find a lot of great shirts!) Where can we buy a decal or a grill badge?
