Or, I just remembered, if you're looking for something like J&M'sMini's MINI logo, e-mail Owen at 5zero4Designs (5zero4designs@gmail.com). He can make the logo look however you want, and it's automotive vinyl, so it just goes right over top of the MINI on your MINI emblem.

My new MINI. Not even broken in yet. I only have 900 miles on her and this is a few days after I installed my ST coilovers. I have them set all the way up in the front and I'm using about 1/4 of the threads in the rear (I still have 16 threads to go before bottom).

How much of a drop did you get with the coilovers?

I'm down about 1", maybe a hair more. I was only looking for a very mild drop to get rid of some of the gap. I went coilovers because I wanted to be able to go lower later if I wanted to. And, my choice in ST coilovers was because of KW's reputuation. The ST coilovers are made/owned by KW and the shocks/springs are essentially KW V1 with less warranty.

I also didn't want to do just springs. I've never had good results just changing the springs. Most of the time, for me, the initial ride is great but it degrades quickly. I didn't want to have to do another suspension job in a year. I wanted to do it all at once.

Also, this coilover was less than $1K shipped. I was originally going to go with NM springs and Koni's, but that combo was more than this setup.
