new Mini owner

I just bought a very rough 2003 Mini to use as an autocross car to run in the SCCA's STF class. Car needs allot of attention but should befine for what I need. One quick question though, what badges on the car can I remove? Can I take the hood badge off? badge on the trunk? I know the "cooper" should peel off easy.

You can remove the boot and bonnet badges easily. I had custom stripes added after I got mine, and the installer just used some fishing line to remove the winged MINI badge in front and back.

Welcome aboard. YEs you can remove them. They are held on with double sided tape. Use a hair dryer with the fishing string and they come off easily. There are guide holes that will be left behind though.
