Sunshine MINIs Grille Badges

I just wanted to show off our new club grille badges for Sunshine MINIs. They are based on part of our logo designed by COOPERation. The model is my Trevor:







Are there any other clubs out there with their own grille badges?

The smallest order the company would do is 50 badges, but I bought 75 and have sold just over 50 of them so far. We have 760 members on our forums but only a couple hundred active ones. But then Florida is a big state. Sunshine MINIs is divided into several sub-groups (Panhandle, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, and Miami), but we all consider ourselves part of Sunshine MINIs.

So are we the first and only MINI club with grille badges? They are such a British car club tradition.

As a member of another awesome MINI club let me say....YES, YOU DO RULE!!!! Absolutely brilliant project!!!


- Note to all (even MINIUSA): We really need to think of something over-the-top cool and classy like this for the Mini 50th anniversary. This needs to be a big commemorative event everybody can get into!! One could have club, national, and commemorative badges, right?...or a bar (vertical or horizontal) that mounts two or three?

- Note to Sunshine MINIs: I hope you don't mind being copied. Great idea!

Actually, MINIUSA has awarded at least one grille badge, to a Sunshine MINIs member, of course. Everyone must already know about Doug, the owner of the first MINI to go over 100,000 miles. Here is his special badge:

It's a very nice quality. They are weighty too, when it arrived in the mail, I almost dropped it!


It's a great club idea, and besides, Miss Moneypenny loves to show off her new badge. Just look at her preen for the camera....

I bought one from NMMINI last year (New Mexico MINI)! Also a beautiful and high-quality badge!

I have a Sunshine badge that was ordered for me as a gift!! Can't wait....it looks awesome!
