Google is a great tool. Second finding for "Mini Cooper Turbo Badge" after the outmotoring one.

You can try minimania (Pic below). The bigger question is why do you want a Porsche themed emblem on a Mini? To each their own, but if you were going to add a badge, why not stick with the same font?

if you want a Porsche "Turbo" badge go to "Pelicanparts.com" ...it's a great Porsches parts site that sells everything. I am positive you'll find a porsche badge there. (look under the 911 tab ...you'll want to look for newer turbo models or 930's). The turbo badging comes in a sweet black chrome for the 76-80something 930's.

ImCParker,

that turbo font although I believe it originated w/ Porsches (back in '76) has been used on many other German cars as well. Look at the new VW bugs, they use the same font for their "turbo" badging.

Yet I do agree with you, it doesn't look right on our Mini's.

FYI you can also pick-up almost any part for the MINI as well from pelicanparts.com but those Porsche turbo badges belong on Porsche turbo's.

2nd, or 3rd, imo i dont like the porsche badges on non porsche cars, even if the car is turbo'd. not necessarily poser, but kinda is in a way. i hear it enough "that car with the porsche turbo badge", followed by a 'hahaha'

but thats my opinion, to each their own.
happy motoring!
