One of a Kind?

I really like the green and the red together. Reminds me of the Aston Martin race cars. Nice looking badges too.

Of all the things I've seen plastered onto MINIs, R53 makes at least some sense, especially if you enjoy it.

Looks nice.
I've not seen another so that makes you unique for a while, until one of our forum badge/emblem haters grow up.

I think ImagoX has done something similar but he put his on the back.

I think it looks cool. Did you do the same thing on the trunk lid?

Looks good
Im not a big badge guy but I like the subtleness of the R53 badge as not many people outside of the MINI community would understand it.

the platform,
first of all, kudos for a kick-*** looking MINI.
Secondly, no worries on the excess badging...

Nice job. I have an R53 badge showing up tomorrow along with black sider markers (and arch light/reflector tint)-- going to do the R53 badge on the rear like that, but just chrome..
