I hate the chrome on my MC and am in the works of blacking it out (Already got the reflectors on the side panels and the chrome strip around the car blacked). I love the debadged look but one thing has me worried, how do you remove the gunk under the badge without killing the paint? (Sorry for the hijack)

 

there's no gunk, it's double stick tape. peels right off without harming the paint.

 

so did I. I removed also side window "Park Lane" badges. Looks so much better now.

 

oops!

 

 

just wondering has anyone actually removed the mini badge ?? noty sure why you would want to but , it would be really smooth if it was removed !!!

removing MINI badge leaves two holes in the bonnet and/or boot.
need to fill/paint for that "little" mod. not as easy as wiping out the cooper badge

 

I'm sorry...but that made me giggle...talk about attention to detail! haha...

ok ok...I won't laugh...seems to have worked out for the better though...

Anyway...a mate of mine did his mcs:









He filled the gap with this:

 

I think this is what you are looking for:

Here is mine:


And what i did with the "S":

 

When you remove the mini badges the holes in front and back need filling and its a paint job. On the front removal the XPEL bra pattern has a special order that handles a deleted badge, so I managed to get that too.

Front without badge:


Back without badge:


The back is a bit too plain now. I'll be adding back my rear stripes when the paint's cured just had rear painted. Also custom inserts in the aero bumper - once I figured what exactly.

 

COOL! I have overlooked this thread.


I only got to the "P".

My latest picture of the boot.

You can see the "S" on the supercharger cover. I used a Dremel with a course sanding drum to make the "S" the same thickness throughout, used it lightly on the s/c cover to give it teeth for th JB Weld to glue on the "S".

 

it looks so good debadged!

 

Take the MINI badges off too:

 

I would if it wasn't for the holes!

 

I'm considering on taking the "Cooper S" badge off the back. After seeing your guys' MINIs without them, it makes the MINI look more refined. Besides, anyone will know what model you have anyway just by looking at the position of the exhaust.

 

I took my Cooper badge off long ago and gave the letters to my friend whose name is Cooper.

 

I'm removing the "cooper" from my boot next weekend. I've been wanting to do it for years.

 

Could you load more pictures of this job. Looks great!!

 

Does anyone have a spare S badge they want to sell?

 

Does any one know where you can get NON S side grills/markers
All black?

 

How in the heck do you see out the back when it rains?!?! You must not drive when it's wet out, otherwise it'd be back on after the first trip.

 

Just like every car I have ever had, I removed the badges from the back (except for the winged MINI badge) and epoxied the red S to my intercooler surround under the hood... Dresses up the plastic nicely!

 

Did Dad's car the other day... Came out sweet, in my opinion:



Take care,
Leo. (& Dad)
