Cooper Badge?

Hey you guys, I had to debadge my car because I put on my boot stripes and now im looking to put my badge on. So I need a knew and ready one so I can just stick it, without worrying about having every letter straight and trying to find adhesive to make my old ones work.

My deale quoted me $43 plus tax

I checked on ebay for MINI Cooper Badge and that was a no go, some stuff out of the UK but not what I needed.

Any other place I can get this stuff from? Much thanks as always

I have almost the same question. Do the letters come off as a group and how do you get them back on?

Classic MINI Parts is running a 25% off special Call them, and be sure you mention NAM (you must mention NAM to get the discount, they won't automatically give it to you).

I have a "COOPER" badge spare. Came with my boot stripes, but I cut the stripes. Didn't trust myself to get the badge on straight. $10 + postage.
They come as a group...you stick them on as one, then peel off the holding tape that keeps them spaced.

You can check with Mike over at Aesthetic Creations as well if the post above doesn't pan out:

Mike@aestheticreations.net or 602-430-3250

He supplies a replacement badge with his boot stripes and must have a deal for them - I know he buys them in bulk. Probably where the poster above got his, I'd imagine.

I was gonna say that as well. I have an extra one, but don't want to part with it, even though, to paraphrase, "I don't need no stinkin' badges!"

I was creeped out at 1st but its super simple. Grab some floss and edge it around the letters. Their each individual so you will have to take them off one at a time.

Even better, Bob Smith

Now I see i got some options

Classic Badge?

Ever since I saw an ad for them in Mini Magazine, I've been tempted to replace my boot badge with a classic Cooper badge.

Just came across this... going through this myself.

Is it just me, or is the AC replacement badge more of a brushed silver look, and not chrome (like my oem one)?

Although it did come in a bag sealed with MINI oem part sticker...

yup.. you're right. I peeled away a corner of the clear sticker on top of it and it was all chrome underneath. So it's all good to go
