Shaving the rear
or whatever it's called when you remove all the badges...
I decided to remove all the badges today, after removing the wiper years ago, and running dark lights all round. Anyway, noone ever told me there were 2 holes under the MINI badge above the boot handle. WTF? What do I do now?

The Cooper S badge came off no worries.

cheers,

If you asked, I would have told you.
You have two options...
1) have a body shop finish the shave
2) put the MINI wings back on

I used black vinyl on mine, i'll post a pic later.

You can always put the wings back on, but make them a little different...

...mine are just black vinyl, but you can paint them as well.
