Mushadd - where did you find those? I think they work better under the rear Cooper badge than on the sides (IMHO of course), but that IS different... Nice find!

Nice! The only thing you need to do to make this perfect is polish out the swirls in your paint.

installed...







So far, i REALLY like the rear badge...the badge flows very nicely with the italic lettering used for COOPER. not sure if i like the two on the fender yet...i'll give it a few days and see if it grows on me...nota bad deal, $20 for 3. (the pics aren't the greatest, the car is dirty and its very sunny outside, but i couldn't wait to share..)

I was referring to the swirls on the paint of your MINI (seen above and below the chrome side vents--unless you bought the MINI second hand? To learn how to resolve these swirls, just go visit the Detailing101 forum here on NAM. Plenty of people to help. Looks good anyways!

What do you guys think about using the supercharged badge from the new Range Rover Sport?



I like the industrial look to it. I'm not sure if you can get just the badge though, without buying the set.
