Opinions please!

I'm getting a few upgrades this weekend, including a GTT badge!

From what I've seen on other GTT Minis , the badge goes on the rear of the car, opposite side to Cooper S badge.

My problem is that I already have a Nurburgring decal in that location!

Do you think that I should remove the Nurburgring decal, or have the GTT badge located somewhere else?

Cheers

Did you go to Nurburgring? If you didn't I would remove it. However, I frankly am not into badges. I went to Nurburgring and Hockenheimring and don't have badges for them.

The ring sticker it sitting too high anyway compared to the MCS badge.

It should be removed and replaced with the GTT badge if you have a GTT engine upgrade only.

If you have been to the ring then you can then replace the ring sticker either under the GTT badge or under the MCS badge, and personally I only like the ring stickers which show the circuit shape as its then discrete and known only by a few

Id agree with Neilobe, nice and clean look remove the badges and people who arent in the know just think thats a normal mini, then they get a shock . Even if i had forked out one of the GTT tuning packages, i would go badgeless!

cheers for your opinions guys! nah i havnt been to the ring so i suppose i dont deserve to wear the badge, even although I'm an expert on it on GT4!

I personally like the look of the GTT badge, make the mini look a tad different to the other ones out there.

Al, any particular reason you decided to remove the GTT badge?

Yes remove the ring badge

Does your MINI have the GTT engine conversion? Or is that what is being fitted? As the GTT badge also needs to be deserved

Please keep it somewhere safe until you get a GTT conversion done and only then put it on the opposite side of the MINI to the Cooper S badge.
