Yeah, saw these the other day. I quite like the idea - only true MINI fans will know what they mean

Apparently they're the "internal" codes BMW uses to identify MINI models...

R50 is for One, OneD, and Cooper
R52 is Cabrio
R53 is S

Was thinking about these as well but then thought they were too similar to R32 or RS4 and people who aren't in the know might think I'm being a wannabe
Lies need defending all the time. The truth defends itself.

Does that make me more or less of a nerd for saying I second that .
An R53 badge to sew into my anorak, now that is a good idea .
Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help
but smile when you shove them down the stairs
