MINI 10 Years in America 2002-2012 Badge?

Anyone know if/where I can get a "MINI 10 Years in America 2002-2012" magnetic badge for my ride that looks like this new logo?



Thanks.

$50+ for a badge? How much did they really cost at the MTTS event?

I've never seen them at an event My dealer claimed they didn't have them. This is a "MINI 10 Years in America 2002-2012" centenial badge, not a "Mini Takes The States" sticker. Auction says limited to dealers only, but we all know how that sales verbage goes...

Bidding on eBay started about $10. I got mine for something like $27. I've seen them go for almost $90!

Very nice quality all metal piece. Looks great on my 2012!

Here you go:



I have no affiliation with the seller of these. I have mine just below the rear license plate on the lower flat part of the boot. May mount it on a 2-bolt grill badge plate down the road if I ever add my planned full body center stripe...

Alright, I'll let you spy my "boot", but you can't stare!



Had to pry myself out of the Lazyboy groove eventually to grab another shaved iced Frappuccino...

Would love to know where these actually come from. If they are produced by MINI or if they were a limited run item for an event. I've picked up another sticker on a recent trip to Canada, so I have a matched pair now:

I wish I could find a magnetic one. I don't like the idea of putting anything on my mini forever . I guess I'll keep my eyes peeled now for one.

Both of these stickers are static stickers yes. I picked them both up at Dealers, MINI of Allentown had the US sticker and Downtown (Toronto) MINI had the Canadian sticker. I got the last of each of these stickers at these dealers I believe. They were given to dealers but they don't seem to have them anymore. Seems like MINI has missed a chance to market some nice logos to owners, eh? I'd buy a shirt and/or hat with these logos in addition to wanting that metal badge too.

Why to get the stick on badge, and some magnetic backing and make it a magnet?

Saw this badge on a car at passport this week. But seeing as mine is an 11 I don't think I'll get one on my car.

Posted an extra one of the all metal "MINI 10 YEARS IN AMERICA 2002-2012" badges in the market place here today. I bought two and was going to put them under the side markers on each side originally, but ended up just using one on the boot.

First Buy-It-Now'er gets it... Enjoy!
