Same for Sunshine MINIs. Motoring Underground just had some made by them too. Excellent quality.

Just noticed that Cooperflags has a few more designs. Here are a few:





I need to get off my butt and order some. Especially, since I'm still waiting for the "I Am The Stig" badge from MotoringBadges.com.

My grille badge collection has continued to grow, and I'm beginning to run out of space on the side of the file cabinet. Also, for an event like MOTD, I like to swap badges instead of having the same one or two on for several days and I didn't have a good way to transport several badges.

A trip to an electronics store solved my problem. I found these. It's just the right size for grille badges, and protects them during transport.

Hello, my name is Richard and I'm a Badge-A-Holic.

I got my shipment in from CooperFlags. AWESOME PRODUCT! The designs and quality look better in person.

Mishka... very creative. Necessity IS the mother of invention.

I'll have to snap a pic of my collection one of these days. Haven't posted one in this thread yet. But I can't rival DD's collection.

It's no longer called a collection. We're now in addiction mode.

To be honest, I'm not sure what my deal is with these. I guess it's because I never got to collect baseball cards when I was a kid - so I never got it out of my system.

I did collect rock band 'flare' when I was a poser 80's, depeche mode-billy idol, thompson twins punk. My backpack was covered in them. At least the magnetic badges make great refrigerator magnets if I ever stop using them on my MINI.

I've noticed that there are only a very very few things about Minis - or the world of Minis - that are NOT addicting..........

There are a lot worse addictions in the world !! And more expensive ones, too.

Yeah, you're MINI would look pretty silly with all those badges on at the same time so display them proudly somewhere else when not in use. Me... I have them on on overhead cabinet in my office. I get a lot of comments on them.

That's not a bad idea for decorating my office (well, cube). Hmmmm.

Some exciting news coming from the MotoringBadges guys. Not sure if I can announce it yet, but if you did some digging, you'll know what I mean.

They've been having server issues. I wonder if they're on the same server as WRR?

Is this the surprise!? AWESOME! I just got my last order from them in the other day. The rear-badge holder won't match up to the holes, though. Is that normal? I need a new BRG owner badge for my office! (I'm begining to feel like I'm a kid back in the 80s collecting pins for my jean jacket again....)

Which one? The CooperFlags version or GoMINIgo?

I've seen the CooperFlags version fitting on R50,R53 and R56s.

If you have trouble, I'm sure Ed would talk you through it.

The Cooperflags version. I have an R56...But I got it in Europe. Even with US-sized European plates, the holes were a little funny when I put on US plates.
