How much have you guys personalized your MINIs, apart from the standard bonnet stripes? I've got the GB sticker, an ugly green College parking decal sticker, and I just put on my Tail of the Dragon sticker, and Dragon kill sticker, along with a new Embry-Riddle Aero. Univ. window sticker. I also have a Union Jack flag draped over the rear hatch. I'm trying to set mine apart from any other BRG/Ws I encounter! :smile:



So lets see what everyone has!!!

Ralph would say up your nose with your milk money... and your milk.

But seriously.. Where can you find the front grill badges?

The GB sticker on the boot looks great!

Never thought I'd put stickers on my MCS, but after the Gap, I have both a "Tail of the Dragon" and "Hwy 129 Asphalt Surfer" sticker.

Koolmini, I looked real hard and can't see your Dragon sticker, but know it's there. The four of us drove the road like maniacs Saturday.

Ageed... re the GB sticker.

I'm into Series Land Rovers. Several different groups have banded together to have grill badges produced. On one vehicle, I have "Lazy Bugger" written in the same style as the traditional Land Rover badge. On another, I have "Bloody Knuckles Pub" in the typical English grill style.

I think, but am not talented enough to do it, an MCO-styled grill badge would be excellent. There are quite a few talented people here. Anyone want to whip up a desing for us?

FYI, if you didn't know, the GB sticker was $1 in a vending machine at the dealer! I'm also thinking of getting a small Union Jack/Stars and Stripes badge for it if I can find one I like!

I have a few on mine such as the Union Jack magnet. The USMC seal magnet. And for now I have VIVID RACING decals on the front side and rear windows. They are there for sponsor purposes. And Holly I'd hope you rode the Dragon after driving all the way up there. :smile:

I have added the sunroof Union Jack, and have removed the "COOPER S' from the boot.

17" R-90's complete the package.

Next unnecessary non-performance mod is to replace the "S" side vents with chrome ones that do not advertise the S.

For some reason, I just hate badges other than the front and rear MINI badges which must stay at all costs. . . .

This pic shows the debadged rear as well as the roof-flag



And who can resist a thick layer of brake dust on BBS R-90's?

here's a really, really bad pic, but it gets the point across; I'm a ***** for Oakley's (Zero and Mully did NOT know this already, tee hee!)


I plan on adding my oval "Dragon" sticker somewhere nearby my Oakely "O" soon
Cheers,
Ryan

Personalizing your MINI is part of the ownership right. Here's mine.

I tried not to go overboard, but that's a fine line. MB

Why do people insist on ADVERTISING by placing trademarks and logos that they have no affiliation with on their car ? Is it a pride or status thing? Everybody look at me--I buy Nike, Oakley, Trek...etc.

A quick google search provides the following example:

I am not a fan of the advertising stuff either...isn't that considered a "RICE" thing that everyone is so against...
