Only the VTS has 16vs though.... I'm pretty sure the 1.1 furio hasn't....

Don't agree with restyle, but...

...the 16v on the VTS is to make it look differant to the VTR, (before they upped the wheel size to 15" on the mk II saxo)

I still think it would be better on other side.

Don't have any pics yet, other than the one with only the side skirts fitted.

Will probably get em done next week, maybe tomorrow if i get time.

jimmyxp · Jan 9th, 2004, 12:42 AM

ok, so not many people seem to like the badge at all or where it is, so i did a quick photoshop as u may be able to s[IMG] ee, but it gives u an idea, this better?????

You gotta change that exhaust tip!!!!!

The Official MINI one is good, makes a hell of a diiferance with the aero kit (and normal Cooper for that) and its only £20.00

jimmyxp · Jan 9th, 2004, 12:53 AM

ok ok, first mistake i have made then, ill change it! :-) bet no one else has had 130mph out of a standard mini cooper tho so nuhhh haha my car flyyyyssssss!

Rakey · Jan 9th, 2004, 12:58 AM

don't put it on, leave it off, there are better badges out there that could set the rear of the car off, like a chrome GB maybe

excuse the dirt, had a run in the dark and rain, looks better when clean

you don't need a Saxo badge to be different

Olly. · Jan 9th, 2004, 12:58 AM

sorry bud but mine will do 130 as well!!

Olly. · Jan 9th, 2004, 01:01 AM

on a racetrack of course though!

jimmyxp · Jan 9th, 2004, 01:02 AM

olly- damn, i dont feel special now lol oh well

Rakey- GB looks nice on urs- ill do some thinking

cooper7 · Jan 9th, 2004, 01:03 AM

Jimmy i absolutely love your mini it's awesome................. however, i am extremely biased as i have the exact same car as it turns out!!Just got my Spax coilovers and 18" Breytons fitted today on my black/white cooper with aero kit, chrome side vents the works. There are a few minor differences though

I have a different badge on the back on the opposite side to the cooper badge. I'm not that much of a fan of the 16v badge as for fine touches like that it's real 'car people' (geeks

) who will notice it and to them it stands out like a sore thumb as being off a saxo. Although this may make our cars even more alike have you thought about the chrome john cooper signature???? Looks mint in my opinion. I'll be looking out for you from now on as im up in Leeds most of the time! Again great car

jimmyxp · Jan 9th, 2004, 01:07 AM

cooper 7, send me some pics as u do not hav a gallery, where abouts in leeds u from? i will look out for yours 2! you must tint it 2, essential haha i think it looks great, i wud get the john cooper signature but mine isnt a john cooper, who thinks this matters~?

Humourl3ss · Jan 9th, 2004, 02:08 AM

Definitely looks better on the other side - it creates a better sense of balance. I'm still not sure about the script used in the badge though.

By the way, the remaining pics of your car look superb.
