De-badging your MINI

[alexcroft]

Just a thought! What do people think of de-badging the mini at the front? I think it will give the mini a sharper and more aggressive look.

Has anyone done or considered this?

Photoshop some pics please...

Looking forward to replies,

Alex.

I reckon if you get the body kit on a black cooper, with all the grills and slats in black, debadged it would look mean!!!

That does look good in front. Should you leave it badged on the back so they can see what it is as you take 'em in the curve?

or get the local yob to heat the area with a blowtorch (much quicker and a good way to test out your BMW shortfall insurance!)

WIth the Hamann kit, this will look amazing!

thanks guys!

before anyone does this, i have been told that the big mini badges back and front have two holes which go into the body work so if u remove them then you could have two nice holes showing?

a friend at bmw told me this cos i was going to do it

De-badging, IMO, is just plain WRONG.

Makes your car look vandalized;
Looks awful;
And to me, is extremely disrespectful.

I'm proud of the MINI and Cooper name. I will display them with great pride on MY car.
