MINI2

chico67 · Feb 10th, 2002, 05:00 AM

When I ordered my One at the dealers I'm sure I saw
on the options list that, like other BMW's, they wouldn't
stick the "One"/"Cooper" badge on the back if requested.

It's aimed at people who wan't to disguise that fact they've
bought the lower cost Beamer. If you see a 3-series without a badge you can guarantee its a 316 and not a 325

.

Thought it might be useful on the One though, 'cos without
the badge most people wouldn't be able to tell it's not a
real Cooper

Except if it's an S you can tell immediatley, if it's a Cooper you probably want everyone to know, so anything unbadged must be a ONE. This as you say probably works better with BMW 3,5,7 and Z3's where the range is bigger and there is probably more "snobbery" amoungst owners.

I'm not going to look down on ONE owners or up to S owners, simply admire there decision like mine to choose a MINI.

Im keeping the ONE badge. At the end of the day its a MINI ONE & i'll be proud of it

How many Coopers have you seen compared the ONE's

My ONE is costing slightly over the basic price of the COOPER so I wont be affraid if people say I have an bottom of the range MINI, because at the end of the day it wont be

I think the absence of a badge (either sort) makes the boot look better.

m1les · Feb 19th, 2002, 04:34 PM

I think the chrome on the boot needs balancing in some way, removal of the badge would do it or alternatively an additional badge on the left. MINI2 perhaps? but definately something in chrome.

I know it probably won't be suitable for a ONE but I have this on my Cooper...

Mmmm

m1les · Feb 19th, 2002, 05:19 PM

Very smooth monsta, but as you say, not right for the ONE.

smiffy · Feb 20th, 2002, 03:14 PM

How about a 'ONE' badge with a little red 'S' after it

mini mucker · Feb 26th, 2002, 08:17 PM

If you are on about the Works badges they cost £2500. Oh and you also get a different exhaust and 16BHP for your money too

smiffy · Feb 27th, 2002, 04:36 AM

I think he wants a John Cooper badge like Monsta's got on his Cooper

mini mucker · Feb 27th, 2002, 09:11 PM

I saw I new MINI driving down the road with the chome bits on it. When it drove passed I looked to see if it was a Cooper or not? It didn't have a badge on, so I assume it was a ONE.
