Hey Vic, can you get your MINI into the garage? Per your picture, it is a tight fit.

Nice look. I don't know if I want to take a shot at it.

How hard to remove the badges?

5 minutes tops. Take some fishing line and slip it behind each letter. Clean up some left over adhesive if there is any.....and then just wax the area.

best way in my opinion is to get a hair dryer and on for about 30 seconds on the badge, (warm up the glue) and then use fishing line to go behind it and seperate badge from car, then clean up.

of course, if your neighbors see you, they will think you are insane and will always roll their eyes at you.

When I was installing my boot stripes, I had to debadge my Mini. I thought it looked fantastic without the badges, so after I installed the stripes, I only put on the S back on in the lower right hand corner. Plus, I dont like how it looks with the badge on top of the stripe. I would have passed out for sure if I had scene a Cooper D at the dealership!! Wow. Did I just say that?

Plus, anybody who cares what model it is can spot that it's an "S" from a mile away, and anybody who doesn't will just call it a MINI anyway.

When I get mine, I would like to de-badge as well. But, the dealer said something about needing to wait a month for the paint to cure before the badges are removed.... Does any body know anything about this?

Are the MINI wing badges also stuck on?
My back one looks a bit crooked.
Yes, it's an old thread..

Never mind, they're both pinned.
