I'm torn on the Audi Supercharged badge though. I typically don't like badges from one make, being used on another make...like the idiots that rebadge their Toyotas with BMW badges

. Yet, I somehow don't really mind this...granted, most people have no idea that's an Audi badge, and it's not really lying. So yeah, I guess I approve.

lol thnx.. yeah i feel the same way about badges, but this one just seemed to work.. i had bought it for a supercharged VW Rabbit i had but it was way too modern for it. Glad I hung onto it.

Looks pretty good. Did you just peel and stick or did you add some additional mounting to the rear?

Great, looks good and matches the angle the stripes. Kind of goes with the MINI modern design. Guess you could use the red for JCW or chili red.

Thanks!
the previous owner did them (was a buddy of mine)
they are clear coated with red tinted clear coat.. they look perfect in person too.. one of my favorite mods.. the headlights on the other hand are not.. they'll be getting stripped and joey modded black this fall/ winter.

I've used some "jdm" spray in the past that worked well. picked it up on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-RED-SPRAY-ON-TINT-LENS-SPRAY-PAINT-HEADLIGHT-TAIL-LIGHTS-JDM-HIDE-THE-AMBER-/200773895639?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ebf0e85d7&vxp=mtr
I red'd out the amber and backup lights (upper left lights) on my old VW Rabbit with it. Worked perfect
