Thoughts on grill badges?

Corny? Worth it? Anybody have any pics they can share of their Mini badges?

Badges for national rallies, events, clubs are OK but 'baby on board', 'my dog is smarter than your dog' crap, no way. All the cars I've owned over the past 55 years, NEVER a bumper sticker. I've got MITM and MITO magnetic badges on either side of the rear license plate only. The thing about any kind of modding with a MINI has only one rule. It's yours to do with and everybody else's opinion is just that.

I have this on my R56S. I'm not a fan of Go Badges, but to each their own.

I was just thinking of getting a couple of checkered flag badges below each hood stripe

I forgot to make a photo this morning on my way out...

I run two different Club Badges, my CROC badge, then I change out fun one every time I clean the car... CAUTION Don't Follow, You Won't Make It, DSC indicator, 150K Mile Badges, 200K Mile Badges, I have a few others that make the rounds onto the car from time to time ... MAX Capacity 15 Clowns ... they are fun. But I acknowledge they are not for everyone.

Motor On!

I had the genuine MTTS ones on my grille, got a little beat up but still looks good. I really like the classic Mini badges. Gobadges has a ton of options of which we carry.

Install

Does the Grill have to be removed to install a badge with the screw mount or can it be done by just opening the hood?

I still need to remove the front bumper to remove the JCW badge from my car..!
The front "Mini" badge is now in the rear, everything else is gone. There is three holes in the hood I need to figure out what to do with..! The only reason the hood badge is in the back is to keep the rain/water out. No big deal in the hood.

No stinking badges..!

It takes a certain personality to appreciate one. Some will love it, some will hate it and some won't even notice, but if you like it, go for it.

I just put a CROC badge on the nose of our Justa. My wife, who is the primary driver, was at first skeptical, but then I reminded her she was perfectly happy to ride around in a Miata with vampire teeth in the grill... I think she was more worried that I wouldn't stop at one.

Love the teeth... I saw one a few weeks ago that had a tongue hanging out. Made me smile.

Motor On!
