Debadging a Cooper will make it look like a One

[monsta]

It'll make your Cooper look like a One!

[flipper]

Puzzled as to why you would want people to think that it may not be a Cooper?

In what way does not having a badge make it look like a one
?

Maybe he doesn't , but prefers the look on the rear?


Personally I say go for not having the badge. The car is good enough not to have advertise it on its a*se. I prefer the lines of the vehicle without the additional "bumps".

People who de-badge their cars tend to have the base models, take a look at most debadged 3 series BMWs, they're 316's

If you spec your MINI One highly and de-badge it, you'll have a Cooper to the un-trained eye

Like me you mean Except I kept the ONE badge

Not neccessarily Monsta,you can still tell it's a Cooper because of the chrome trim above the number plate as opposed to a black trim.

I don't agree there! It's all down to personal taste. If you can't even mod MINI's these days, what CAN you mod?!

... and don't say Corsa's, Saxo's, etc...

[monsta]

The chrome trim is easily fitted to a One.

All I'm saying is a standard ish Cooper would look to me like a one, if you debadge it...

It's up to you of course

Im just happy cos i have a one and no-one knows what it is to look at. I dont wanna be a cooper or a S, i just wanna be different. As u can tell by the parts fitted:

1: Chrome trim all except grill (I agree smiffys et al all look great but i think on a black car u can get away with keepin the black)
2: Chrome mesh grill
3: Cooper S side sills
4: Cooper exhaust trim
5: Custom stripes on bonnet and sides
6: Chrome mirrors (Not yet available but will change)
7: 17' OZ super turismo wheels
8: Soon to be done 'One' logo in a new colour change vinyl like the TVR tuscans have (Orange/Yellow/Red) for rear and passenger airbag cover
9: White side lights, indicators
10: more than i can remember

Anyway see the pics to see what stage im upto

Chrome exhaust trim isn't it? If you want the cooper back box, mine may be available soon...

I really don't agree with this comment. I find people who don't wish to advertise their car often debadge as well. I think it looks classier and provides an element of intrigue as to what a vehicle actually is. Plus it can deter the thief looking for the top of the range motor.

Anyway I don't think this debate really holds water on whether it's a one or a cooper , as they don't sell the one in the states.
