New R53 Badge
Just got this from OutMotoring. It helps to let others know what you're driving.

Good point. I guess I'm just a sucker for another decal.

I like the looks of them and it would throw non-MINI people off but I like the clean, almost naked look of no badging. I added 1 appreance item to my car that is not covering another thing up: A Philly MINI decal in my window.

To the non-mini aficionado, that is going to make people think you have a special edition or something...
I've liked the looks of them ever since i saw them on

The other day, I saw parked MINI with a Mercedes-Benz "V12" emblem on the boot under the "Cooper" logo. Makes me wish I had my camera.

Nice badge.
Now be prepared for the endless questions of what is a R53.

Thanks. I know some like to badge and others not to badge, but that's what makes everyone's Mini unique.

That's what I did, but painted the letters black to match all the other trim.

Or 2B or not 2B is that the question? Sounds like this is getting 2B a little too crazy!
