Badged, as the MINI is such a great car, y would you not want people to know what you have?

[nickworld]

Definitely badged. I can just see potential buyers in the future being concerned that they are being fobbed off with a ONE for the price of a Cooper. Especially if its got larey wheels and a funky roof, but no Cooper badge...

But there are other obvious ways to tell what the car is.

1. On the door sills.
2. On the build plate in the engine compartment.
3. On the registration document.

My car has it's ONE badge but I can understand why people want them removed. The rear end looks neater without the badge and it's a hassle cleaning around that area.

Fair enough. Didn't really think that through did I? Off to the halfbakery...

Most definately Badged - cleaning around the badge was bugging me so got myself a very soft brush and I use this to clean around the badge, the chrome trim and wheel arches, you know all those little places were grime can build up and you can't get into with a sponge, works a treat and my badge always shines brightly !

Debadged at the moment.
Will only an S badge on show when car is finished.

Debadged, removed it myself yesterday, looks more "clean" without the the badges..

Badged!

Personally I don't see the point of debadging

I had the 'no cooper badge' option on my spec. I think the car looks neater from the rear without a badge, as then there's perfect symmetry (apart from the exhaust). It's down to taste I suppose, but I certainly think it looks cleaner without the badge. It would also make the fitting of boot stripes that much easier.

There should be no problem when selling it as there's other areas which indicate it's a Cooper. It also says so on the sales invoice.

De-badged.

Only in the interests of symmetry though.

And the fact that mine is a One D.

[FREEZE BOX]

Definately Badged

[lotoole3]

debadged.

smoother, stealthier, symmetrical, better.

if only the mini logo badges would come off without revealing unsightly holes... especially up front, where they really squashed it uncomfortably between the scoop and the slats.

anyone removed front/rear logo badges without filling and respraying? what did u do?

[PortRhombus]

I had my Mini debadged to make it look more smoother and symetrical.

Also, I feel that my Mini isn't a 'One' or anything else apart from a Mini or her name Natalie! Natalie is far from a standard MiniOne and I dont want to brand her that. She is in her own leaque on own setting her own standards enjoying life!
