That is very expensive. I picked up two enamel badges for £1.50 each from my local car shop. so I would shop around if I were you.

ScoobyDoo · Jun 8th, 2004, 11:47 AM

try ebay... theres a guy on there selling them regularily, last ones went for about £4 a pair... he must have a supply as he keeps selling them....

Parc77 · Jun 8th, 2004, 03:49 PM

I thought about those but now I have this on my S

Parc77 · Jun 8th, 2004, 08:56 PM

Ive seen them cheaper to but trying to think where

MiniG · Jun 9th, 2004, 04:01 AM

Parc77 - That's sweet! Where'd you get that then? Make it?

I had a double flag from the guy on eBay and after about three months it was hanging by its last bit of adhesive, not in a good way.
Fortunately, it cleaned up pretty well.
I might have not cleaned well enough prior to installation, but it did look great right off of the S on the hatch!
I have a shot of it... I'll upload it to my gallery page...

Cough Cough.

My May 2002 Cooper:

My December 2004 Cooper

:
Pre 18's:

With JCW 18's:

I now have 4, 3 of the smaller ones and 1 of the larger ones.
Did the Side grills 1st, costing me £10 for 2 via Monsta gettin them for me from a car show/fair/thingy.
Did the rear "Large one" (From MGTF) next from MG dealer at £25!!!

FInally changed cars so needed a small one for the Front Aero Grill, that cost me £11 from the MG Dealer

Does look good though

But then I would say that, just make sure you put them the correct way up, a few peeps haven't

and I think it makes it look odd! Will post some of the better pics when at home.

girlfriends dad gave them to me, he got it from someone he knows at BMW, not sure if its a badge they were considering or a limited run, but it looks differnt and fits perfectly

northandy · Jun 9th, 2004, 11:26 PM

I just bought a pair from ebay... including postage 6.76.....

MiniG · Jun 10th, 2004, 07:02 AM

HAHA I wonder if I had it on upside-down!

Parc, that's awesome - even better that it was a prototype or something. If your girlfriend ever gets a second one that she'd like to sell a friendly American...

Nice badge, but where on the car have you put it? A more "panned out" photo would be nice.
Cheers!

Damo · Jun 10th, 2004, 02:43 PM

Doesn't "mean" anything. Its just something that started to be put on MG cars (and the UJ only on Rovers) once Pheonix took over. Think its summat to say "British" with Rover, and the MG ones to say "British and sporty"

Damo's got it spot on, just above rear boot handle, if I get anymore i'll let you know

Damo · Jun 10th, 2004, 04:48 PM

Woo Hoo! Do I get a free Mars Bar, or Curly Wurly?
