"Last of the Supercharged" Badge

Category: Exterior
Price: $0
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part fits (you may select multiples): R52
Location (Region): Midwestern
Item Condition: Used

I'm searching (hard, too) for a replacement "Last of the Supercharged" badge for my car. (and yes, it's real - I'll provide a pic of my VIN if somebody finds one and needs proof)

Will you guys please keep an eye out for one of these? It really sucks having a real LOtSC car without the badge (thanks, whoever stole it).

Thanks very much!

Yeah - that's pretty simple. It's not one. -- All of the LotSC were Sidewalk Astro Black JCWs. Sorry.


Back on track - really looking hard for one of these. Please keep an eye out for me.

Oh I guess I thought all 2008 cabrio S's were since the 2008 hard tops were turbo. Thought everyone just made up the saying.

No, it's actually an official designation. Our cars were the last 100 that rolled off the line in June/July of 2008.

Sadly, yes -- they actually opened not one but two PUMA cases on this.

Apparently, they made no extras of these... Quite sad.

Now just waiting for someone to post a good pic so I can get the artwork done.

Which part? Extra parts or the artwork?

They would never release official artwork regardless of the circumstance.

ah, sorry i read that as MINI was authorizing MINI to reproduce one for you. Your saying MINI authorized you to have GoBadges reproduce one from the artwork you provide.

No problem. Basically, I was told they won't sue me if I create a similar-looking badge since my VIN is correct.

Bet you weren't expecting that.
Just opened to take the pic.
I could scan it, and send you a pic. Or just sell you the badge.

Sweet Jesus Christ. I almost peed myself under my R60 putting in a downpipe.

Seriously... Kid on Christmas is right.

PM me a price. Please. And where on earth did this come from?!
