Where can I get one of those chrome 'John Cooper' signature badges as seen on the back of Monsta's Mini?

I remember seeing them on a web site somewhere a couple of months ago, but can't for the life of me remember where it was.

smiffy · Jul 17th, 2002, 08:25 AM

Rover dealers I think

ELISEBOY · Jul 17th, 2002, 08:32 AM

if its one of these

then you can get those direct from JCW

Razor · Jul 17th, 2002, 08:40 AM

No it wasn't one of those it was just like the signature decals you can buy to go on the bonnet stripes except smaller and in chrome.

If you look at the pictures of Monsta's Mini here http://www.mini2.com/forum/showthre...&threadid=10573
you'll see the one I mean.

Ginger · Jul 17th, 2002, 08:44 AM

I had them on my Classic Cooper S. I got them from Somerford Mini Spares if that's any help.

Razor · Jul 17th, 2002, 08:51 AM

Yep that was the website - found the badge.

Cheers

monsta · Jul 17th, 2002, 08:57 AM

Got mine from Somerford too, although it fell off my MINI the other day

Rover dealers can also get them, although I think they charge more

£22 from Somerford

Just ordered mine from Somerford.

You say yours fell off - do they just stick onto the bodywork then?

They stick on but they are totally flat and the MINI boot isn't so not all of it sticks on properly. Mine has been on there for nearly a year so I'm quite please it lasted so long!

Will have to try and find something else to stick it with

This might sound stupid but Supaglue may well do the trick (providing you apply it carefully). When I restored my Lambrettas I used it to hold the badges on - they're still there!

The only thing is if you don't get it right it can make a mess of the paintwork around the badge - the best option is not to apply too much glue.

Anyway it's an idea.

By the way are these badges made out of metal or plastic?

Yeah I was going to do that but I like the idea of being able to remove it again at a later date. Might take a trip to Halfords tonight and see what they have to offer

Razor · Jul 18th, 2002, 03:46 AM

Badge arrived this morning (£27 including VAT & P&P)! Excellent service from Somerford.

All I need now is my Mini to put it on!!

Sent John cooper Works an email yesterday enquiring about the signatures to go on the bonnet stripes - haven't heard a dickie bird.
Not so good service John Cooper - and to think I'm putting your name on my Mini!

You can order the signatures on their website.

www.johncooper.co.uk

They usually take a couple of days to answer emails.

Razor · Jul 18th, 2002, 04:16 AM

Yeah I know you can order the signatures on their website - which is what I was going to do, but I wanted to clarify the delivery charge.

According to the table on the web site this was going to be £5.29 (because the total order is more than £10 and less than 3kg).

To be honest I found that a little excessive especially when you consider they could put them in the post for the price of a reinforced envelope and a stamp!

Ginger · Jul 18th, 2002, 04:23 AM

These badges are the nicest ones they did for the Classic Cooper. As I remember they were made out of metal.

Morty · Jul 18th, 2002, 04:30 AM

I saw those chrome badges a few weeks ago at the meeting in Leverkusen and they were pasted at the bottom of the rear side windows.
Just next to the door... looked really nice

Think I'm going to do the same thing....

I ordered my signature badge from Somerford and you're right that is made of metal (incidentally it is a Rover part) - but what I want to order from John Cooper is the signature decals - you've got to agree a fiver for the delivery of two decals is excessive!

Ginger · Jul 18th, 2002, 04:39 AM

John Cooper Garages is expensive, I too ordered the signitures for my old classic Cooper and thought they were not cheap. My advice is if you have the chance go to the garage and buy them from there. It's worth the trip just to have a look round the excellent garage!

monsta · Jul 18th, 2002, 04:49 AM

Its also worth phoning the sales team and asking about the postage, I agree the amount is a bit much!

Paul Simonds · Jul 18th, 2002, 09:27 AM

Hi all

Just and enquiry if your car is not a John Cooper Works why put a badge on it and then being a fake, it's just as bad as putting a cosworth sticker on a Sierra 1.8LX.

just my opinion

PS I think the mini badge is enough credability
