What does everyone think about the new MINI logo and badges ? After cleaning two MINIs today after two weeks of snow salt and sand and struggling to clean the chrome wings, I am thinking these might be an improvement

Looks good, but to much of the British Union Jack everywhere.

I think the new wing design is a washcloth grabber and will be really time consuming to keep clean in the gaps.

But I do dig the tail light lenses.

Motor On!

I like the new colors and new tech. Plan to order a JCW in March. Am thinking the new orange is the way to go.

That's quite interesting . . . they did find something to recycle from the Superleggera! That's good news. I'm no brit fan in that way, but I don't mind when it's done that way...

While the press photos show the Union Jack taillight lenses, you can still spec the standard 2014-present taillights new. The Union Jack taillights come with the optional LED headlights, though I believe (not 100%) that the Iconic (loaded trim) just comes with both anyway. I am not sure if you can delete them from an Iconic build or not (still learning the new order process myself).

I find them inoffensive, and yes, makes me nostalgic for the Superlegga that could have been. I like them on my new 19' JCW

I agree, I like the look, especially now having seen them up close. The new front indicators with the full wrap-around LED are cool too.
