Unhappy Bagdes nicked!!!

anyone else had there badges nicked - woke up this morning to find that some pubesant scrote had used a screw driver to prize off front and rear badges off my MCS. Called the police to report it and they didnt care! - but they seemed concerned when I told them what I would do if I caught them!

Sorry to hear that Let's hope the MINI badge does not become a popular fashion item like the VW one did

Sorry to hear about that, friends of mine have used to have the same problem with there skoda.

Slightly off topic, does anyone know where you can get those kind of badges made for yourself?

I had my badges wedged off with a screwdriver a while ago.

It happened literally the day before the Heartbeat 2003 run earlier last year. If you look back at the photos you can see my "debadged" baby driving around.

Frigin twŁt$!

Red Cooper Sorry about your badge

Haven't had this thank goodness, but the little gits have nicked my valve caps, started to get sick of replacing them with metal ones like my dealer said I would until I happen across these beauties on Ebay, they're antitheft metal valve caps with the mini logo.
