Hidden MINI logos

So my son and I were motoring back from the gym yesterday and he shouuts out: "Dad! - how many Mini logos do you see in the car? - and not on the steering wheel?"...

I look around and see a couple on the floor mats - which he says don't count...

Then he pointed out the logo designs "hidden" in the design of the stereo controls and the AC display...

Very cool! - and yet another cool thing about the Mini!

Well if the logo was on the brake pads, boy did they go up in dust. Lots of dust.

The other day I noticed that the MINI logo is on every piece of window glass also.

OK, it's not a logo but, the word "Clubman" is stamped in the aluminum door sill on the passenger side only.

Sorry if this has previously been pointed out.

Regards,

It actually took me a couple of weeks to discover that. Good eye!

I think that door sill and the floor mats are the only places the vehicle is badged as a Clubman. Am I right?

Hey, we are all MINI owners, right? So I'll chime in.

On the Clubman is there the sunglass holder on the inside of the glove box door, that is cut out to the shape of the MINI logo, like there is on my MINI?

Also, on my convertible 2006 the dash vent area [or intake?] near the climate control sensor is shaped like the MINI logo. You can see that one gallery pic I have posted, of the dash area to see what I am talking about. It's above the speedo.

Check your Clubmans.

For sure and I found some good ones at Disneyworld this year. We stayed at the Contemporary Hotel and the swimming pool complex is a big Mickey. Right outside the entrance to the Garden rooms there's a Mickey laid out in the pave stones...you have to look REAL hard to see it but it's there.

Michael:
I want the three minutes of my life back that I spent looking for your sunglass holder in my glove box!
It ain't in mine.
And I want one now.

And I can't find the MINI logo on the top of the dash either.
And I want one now.

Troublemaker!

Well I did ask if the later models had such.

I'll take some pics of mine, so you can see proof.

OK, here are the promised pics. Oh wait, did I promise? If not, disregard such a binding word.

Hollyross,
With the Clubman door closed, look a few inches in front of the clubman door edge. The word Clubman is printed between the little racing checks in the door sill. It is not part of the "Cooper S" logo.

OK. Here's what I found.

No sunglass holder. Rich -- I agree with you; I want one now.

I also noticed that the switches above the rear-view mirror are mounted in a wings-ish shape. Does that count?

Other than that, the only one we (8 year old daughter and I) noticed was the logo on the Road-side assistance sticker the inside of one of the barn doors. We don't think that counts.

Also, we don't need the 3 minutes back. It was fun. I have to admit, we got something out of it.

Excellent thread.

I will tell you that this is not mine, but I do know the person to whom it belongs - and no, we are not related...just fellow MINI owners.. Amazing, eh?
