"Cooper" Remove or Not To Remove

I know how to remove the "Cooper" letters from the rear...I did it on my '03.

But, now I'm having 2nd thoughts.

Should I remove the letters and the "S" or just the letters or leave well enough alone? I remember I removed the letters from the '03 because I got tired of cleaning between them and it looked pretty good.

Opinions solicited

Remove the "Cooper", and don't stop there.

I changed the Cooper to Pooper, 'cause I found that I was calling it, the MINI Pooper

I removed the cooper, but kept the s (and the mini badge, but might still remove it). All a matter of preference. I like the clean look while I also find the style of the "s" very appealing

Remove the cooper and the S, and put them on the passenger side of your dashboard, evenly spaced out so it takes up the whole length of that panel.

My 2 year old used to say mini "pooper" because she couldn't pronounce her C's, now it's mini "tooper"

I bought a "Cooper" emblem at the dealer and took the "P" from it to replace the original "C" in my MINI's emblem. I used masking tape as a guide, to make sure the letters lined up.
