Neat idea! When we moved in to our house, there was an old street sign in the basement. Now I think I'm going to see if I can find it and put it to good use.

That's a good looking set you already have there. I've been thinking of adding a 2nd badge holder on the front to make it 4 badges on the car.

Here's my badge collection. I copied MINIxB's great idea of using an old road sign to display them. It was kind of hard to arrange them so the dark (or light) colored badges didn't disappear on the black or white sections of the sign. Now I just need to find another sign since there's no more room on this one.

The badges from the Badge Swap will stay displayed on the sign, the rest will be stored in my 'badge cases' in the car so they're available to be swapped out on the car.

I like your road sign Mishka. It works better than my stop sign. It has raised letters and you can't really put a grill badge on it.

Thanks!

The sign is good for displaying the badges, but I really like the look of your vintage stop sign, MINIxB

Some of you might know that I design the swag for my local club. If you've been to my site, you might have seen my little collection of event art. It's not great of art, but it gives me a nice sense of accomplishment when I see it all in one place. Plus, it's cool when I see people and MINIs sporting the things I design.

Here's a link to my event swag designs, with a few badges to go with them:

Those things are awesome! Great price too.

If I didn't already have one, I'd be all over this deal.

Good luck with the sale.

Nice badges, Melinda! If you want a DD badge, come find me at the picnic this month (if you're going to be there).

We are planning on going to the picnic so we'll see you there!

Oh, and I have to admit... the MetroplexMINI badge is my favorite! It looks great on the car!!!
