Has anyone taken the MINI badge off of the bonnet? I'm having the bonnet repainted after being hit, and I don't think that you need to see the MINI logo there to know it's a MINI.

What do you think? Anyone have any pics of a debadged MINIs?

 

My Cooper S logo is gone but the Wings remain as they are held in by tabs and 2 holes in the bonnet however if they fill the holes before paint I think it would look nice and smooth....maybe someday.....

 

One nice Mini....

 

I have dewinged a car. I did it for a customer and I thought it looked really good. next time I paint parts on the hood or bonnet, I'll also be doing it. I think more people would be doing it, but it leave holes to fill. but since your doing some work on there already, it will be any easy fix. good luck and post photos when you get it done.

Dont forget to take the Cooper (and S if you have it) off the back too!!

(makes for a nice clean symmetrical look!)

 

After looking at these pics, the surface looks "cleaner" with out the logo. I won't remove mine, but if I ever had to do body work on the bonnet or so as a result of an accident or something, I might suggest to keep the "wings" off.

 

Hey, that's a nice lookin' MINI.

 

Yeah! Dan posted!!!!! P.S. to "the NAM", DChamp owns that car!

to all other NAMers. i am looking for a used rear wings badge. must be very cheap to free. I'll cover any out of pocket...like shipping.

 

I have the back Cooper S off of mine, I love the look.

Will you cover the cost of getting it shaved off my car and the two holes filled and painted? You can have the badge for FREE!!!

Had to try.

 

^^ we need the REAR badge...no body work needed for removal of that one...sorry!
(we're making a counterfeit!)

 

The rear MINI wings have locating "pins" just like the front, so you would need body work/paint after shaving.

 

i wonder what kind of work is involved in shaving the logos..

 

The proper way would be to have the holes welded up. The cheap way would be to use body filler to fill in the holes. Then you need to find someone who can blend paint to keep from having to repaint the bonnet and or boot.

 

Are you sure about that?

 

positive

 

the first to be debadged and shaved

since 12-03, bonnet and all

had to shave and repaint the hood...

there are only a few of us...

peep the gallery

 

i took the "Cooper" off my hatch. I think it looks a lot nicer.

 

I was not too far after you Samtrak. I think I had people covered in the cut a big fat hole in the hood department also.

Looks really clean. I wonder how much a bodyshop would charge for this kind of work.

 

Depending on the color of the car, I bet we could get it done for you for under $200.

 

hmmm...do you have bodyshop contacts in socal?

 

Sorry, it would have to be done in Ohio at our shop.

I still have my mine but it has been darkened at bit

Not sure if the photo attached, but you can see it one my gallery

 

I started to de-badge the boot. Broke the E.


The best way is to weld, then putty?
