Sorry just getting home and we won't make it to Casa tonight

 

I've got a question for everyone (or, anyone who cares to think about it): I'm planning on getting my wife a car badge for the Mini for Christmas (Philippine flag), and wanted to know if anyone had a vendor to recommend? A google search turned up these online stores:
http://www.smallflags.com/flg/Car%20Grill%20Badges.htm
http://www.scottishprideproducts.com...&cat=57&page=1
http://www.hdrogers.com/carbadgeflags12.html and
http://www.showmypride.com/xc/home.php?cat=57

Any thoughts on these, or any others? Now, off to search the NAM car badge forum! Thanks.

 

I thought I had already posted this, but am now not seeing it, so sorry if this is a duplicate.

I'm planning on getting my wife a Philippine flag grill badge for the Mini, and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

The NAM thread: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ollection.html has many people with magentic badges (mainly from CooperFlags.com, which has one), but I'm thinking I might like a metal one better. A quick web search turned up some possibilities (like hdrogers.com, smallflags.com, showmypride.com and shgraphics.com).

I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks.

 

The nice part of the magnetic badges is the ability to change them out. This sounds like one that is going to take up a spot and just be there. Maybe it would be a metal one and on the opposite side you would have a magnetic one for the fun factor? Several of the different companies make the badges and they all seem to come in different levels of quality. I have also seen a great looking metal badge stuck on the boot of a Mini this way they kept the front clean. The best part is it's your Mini and your making it a one of a kind

 

Fracky,

As the founding member of the Carbon Fiber look I did not think that you had seen this since it was done on an R56,
The whole car was wrapped in CF

 

Hey Joe, let me cut the hole in the hood before you even think about doing this.

Steve

 

Here you go Joe the whole car look, not to sure about the rims you might have problems keeping those on the car once Tina sees them....

 

Yep that's right John! There a little bright but I would sport them if I could!

 

figured it was to bright but it would be purple progress

 

Ahhhhhh....John, that's the hawtness right there!!! How's this though - Dr.Steve's next project, R56 side skirts on my R53.

 

The JCW aero kit does look so good..

 

Tom I found your next truck

 

I guess we'll be measuring John's this weekend.

Steve

 

That front lower bumper does not mesh well with the R53 though

 

Tina you can always powder coat yours I will be powder coating mine soon.

 

Did someone say anything about the bumper?

Steve

 

Just lookin at the picture.

 

Joe, this is a right hand drive car and I bet that's a body kit that's available there. I can see a number of differences that might make the R56 one not an easy fit. The wheel trim is a different width and shape than that of the R53. I might actually be easier to find that body kit.
