I'm very excited to see that MINI is labeling the cars now. I came across this and had to post it!

 

Sorry but I think it is horrible! Dental floss sales will be going up as a result.

 

Yikes! No thanks. Looks like something out of the Lilian Vernon catalog. I'd just as soon have:

Y O U R N A M E H E R E

 

Welcome to NAM! Did you get a CM?


This is kind of yesterday's news

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-boot-lid.html

but it confirms that the ones coming to the US will indeed have the booty stamp.

Now we can really start debating whether with is better than without.

 

I want to see how they make it work with my sport stripes. Of course I am only two weeks into the wait and would take anything at this stage

 

Reminds me of the olden days when all the automakers felt the need to turn all deck-lids aka "boots" into billboards. While I agree that not every model should be labeled "COOPER" - I don't like covering the entire boot with that nonsense. Nothing a good blowdryer and some floss can't fix.

 

let the debate begin. I will start the debate off with:

I S T I L L T H I N K I T S U X

O R

G R A T U I T O U S

 

HAHAHAH, I think it looks cool in person; however, I do agree that it does not have to be so large. I like the thought of badging the cars with their actual names. Maybe in smaller font under Cooper. Or eliminating cooper and just adding the name?

 

hahaha hilarious!

 

what is a CM?

 

Club Membership?

 

or Countryman?

 

My thought from last Sep remains unswayed...

It's far too busy with the "MINI," "Cooper S," and now the "C O U N T R Y M A N."

I like it better than the "Cooper S" but I think I still prefer plain.

 

Exactly. I prefer the clean look!

 

It's too much going on back there. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

I actually like it. May look to add it to my 2012 CM.

 

I actually like it, though I think if I were to add them after the fact, I would stick the letters much closer together, instead of the way Mini applies them.

 

Its Hideous..Though I did opt for de-badged when I got my CM. So apart from the fact I have 1 exhaust pipe, no one can tell if mine is a One or Cooper or Diesel or petrol

 

I hope it comes with a hair dryer, fishing line, and goo gone haha....the cooper S was too much for me, took that off the first night!

 

I Photoshopped the letters closer together, but I'm not sure it makes it any better.

 

I actually like what you have done there

 

Nice. Now try putting it under the "MINI" badge and delete the "Cooper S" and I think you might have something.

 

Yes I am not sure as to why they are giving them tramp stamps. Just ugly IMO!

 

Watch, next time you are in for service it will be a bulletin and they will secretly add it to every pre-'13 that comes in, lol.
