Had my MINI emblems blacked out, should i remove "cooperS and JCW emblems?
Here are the 3 photos im contemplating over.
1, 2 or 3.
1 seems abit messy now because they're the only chrome pieces on the back.
2 because my GF thinks nobody will know its a cooper S or JCW without the badge
and 3 because it looks so clean?

last one looks good. second one looks weird because the factory JCW has the emblem on the right hand side.

I vote no badges. Looks much cleaner and the badges detract from the look you seem to be going for.

seems a shame to lose the jcw badge... relocate to a center position? id say, under the license plate, or right above the exhaust tips, on the rear bumper...

The MINI badge looks great, can you black out some of the badges to make them blend in?
The COOPER badge could be black, with black outlining the red S, I'm not sure what you could do with the JCW badge though.
If you can't, then I agree with the posts above and remove them.

great yes!
but abit rough with the vinyl work because they are very tiny creases. im still toying with the idea of spraying it or purchasing these:

im ok with the price although i dont like too much CF on my car!
the badges have been removed as of today! and i will wait and see what i decide and if i like it this way. this is how it looks like today

Looks good badgeless. Anyone who knows what a JCW is will probably be able to tell by the other cues on the car. No one else will care.

I vote option #4 for your particular car:
Completely de-badged, Mini logo and all.

So no holes where the badges were? I want to remove my "cooper" from the rear of my Justa. Didn't want to start without knowing if there were holes behind it.

There are holes behind it. If you remove it you'll either have to plug it, or weld/sand/paint to cover them up.

There are no holes behind the "COOPER", there are behind the Wings logo.

Yes. It's the "Cooper" I'm wondering about. It's coming off tomorrow. Thanks.

My bad. I read the where the badges are and the post above that about removing the Mini Logo.
You can remove the other lettering with dental floss, but if the car is older, you'll probably need to buff the area. I did this to mine and you could see ghosting where the letters were.
