Motoring Badges- Which side??

Receiving my grill badge from Outmotoring, soon I hope, and I was wondering what side do people put the badge on? Driver or passenger side of the grill? I know it'll look great no matter what side, but checking to see if there is a "traditional" side of the grill to mount it. Thanks for any info and see you at MTTS Chicago!

Mine is on the driver side. Of course, since I'm a badge nut, I've go a double holder on my boot as well.

Yah, it immediately reminded me of my mid to late 80s adolescence,earrings on one side mean something, the other side meant something else, never had either ear pierced, so it didn't mean much to me.

Hehe, actually you would be the normal one. The MINI instructions show the badge being installed on the passenger side.

I had my badge holder installed before delivery ('If you're not going to give me floor mats, at least throw in a badge holder.' "Okay, fine.") and they put it on the driver's side.

Wrong?

Well, as it would seem that there is really no "traditional" side and I guess if I'm to go with the side that makes me happy, I'm going with the "wrong" side as this is the side the factory suggests. Not that I'm conforming to the factory or anything, but I guess it'll be different than most "badgers" here. And, BTW, if I WERE to wear an earring, and I don't, I would have put in the "wrong" side.

Thanks to all for their input and my first badge is the new "37" badge from motoringbadges.com. It looks great and so the collecting begins.
