Anyone know where you can order replacement badges for the boot and bonnet?

 

P & L MINIs has the wings, but not the Cooper or Cooper S badge.

They've also got Classic Mini badges if you wanted to rebadge with something from a Classic

Thanks, can you believe someone stole my rear badge. I've only had my MC for one week, in Nebraska no less. What is the world coming to?

 

Is anybody else REALLY tempted to remove your existing Cooper badging and replace it with that Mk1 Cooper badge?

 

We removed our Cooper S badge and replaced it with the Cooper Sport badge.

 

^^^^^^Nice!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sweetness.:smile:

Can you post pics or any install tips for us, please?

 

Here you go!

 

Install tips... Use dental floss to remove the letters. All with the exception of the O's will probably come off really easily. Use a hair dryer to heat up the letters a little to loosen up the adhesive if you have any problems removing any of the letters.

We used Simple Green to take the wax off the car in the areas that we wanted to place the badges.

The John Cooper badge was a snap to get on and appears to bea great fit.

I'm keeping a close eye on the Cooper Sport badge. It's designed for a Mini with a flatter boot so it doesn't conform to the boot on MINI as well as I'd like it to. The R and the C don't appear to be sticking to the car very well, however the rest of the badge is on pretty securely so it'll probably be fine.

If you consider the John Cooper badge from P & L I'd suggest spending the extra money and getting the chrome one with the adhesive. The stainless steel one has an annoying tendancy to rust in the winter, something I didn't know before I bought it and stuck it on the car. If I had, I would have painted it first.

 

You can also get badges from Classic MINI. They are a NAM sponser and give a discount.

...and another plus - Julie is cute!

 

Lookin' good, mbabischkin!

dental floss, huh? Nice one.

Q: On the main center rear badge (MINI wings)-

Will the classic wings badges fit the alignment of the new badge's posts? I'm assuming they are like other cars or BMW's with two posts on the back-
Sjwass- I guess you'll know-

Also, are there any pry marks around where the badge goes or did it come off clean?

Thanks-

That I don't know. It may be something that P & L can check via e-mail for you...
