Cool car, its an old one keep it on an old badge, but i see why you put it on does look right...

its old with retro touches, but its also like a modern drive, its comfy and quiet

I was all fired up to give you a royal flaming for this, but it actually looks damn good. I'm heading off to the bay to get one for mine i think.

Good work. :)

it doesnt look bad, but i think it would look more old skool with no badge at all

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

I don't think I need to state my point of view on the car it came off ...

I think it looked better before ..... but if it's off a car that was killed and gone to the scrap yard in the sky then at least having the badge on yours is "one down ... the rest to go!!". Maybe you could fit them on the sides like the fighter pilots used to do every time they had a kill in a dog fight ... LOL (Joking ..... don't do that .. lol)

Looks like my point of view came across with out thinking ... lol ... can't help myself!!

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

Classic badge all the way, i dont think it looks right.

Manchester Minis

haha thanks!!

well the other choice is a ibought a BMW mini cooper S bonnet badge, its the same but half the size i might try see how that looks.

I tried the morris cooper badge, but it just looked too square
same as this one


I might go back to no badge, ill see what the outcome of the poll is

it looks good.

i dont think this forum is a BINI slating one to be honest.

personally i wouldnt have one but thats mainly down to price!

Feebs, your car needs to go on 10s. Would look amazing! I reckon a set of 6x10 wellers powdercoated black would look the nuts.

the only thing is i hate driving in the wet on 10's i had a really scarey experience once when a part of the motorway really flooded on the M6, everytime i hit a supprise puddle i had no control at all, with these 13x7s they seem to be really good in the wet.

Stay on 13s feebs .... proved it time and time again to people how much better the car is on 13s. Not to mention decent tyres and brakes being available.
Comes down to personal choice in the end but I would never put anything other than a Mk1 on 10s.

Get rid of it completely Feebs,

It's much better without.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Personally I prefer it without, Go for the old badges, or no badges for that matter.

Take you point about more grip and better braking, but there is too much unsprung weight with 13"s imho. Also, have mega low profile tyres gives a pretty back breaking ride. My understanding is that they are good for killing diffs with their grip and good for killing ball joints with their weight.

Like you say though, totally a personal choice.

Anyway, this is totally off topic. Bonnet looks good, keep it as it is. It's a modern looking mini, so have a modern looking badge. Who cares what car its off, the car its on now is sweet.

i like it leave it on, and then dont do anything else to your car feebs its perfect the way it is.

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

I think it looks ok.

I like it, i want one for my Twinky mini when it goes on the road. The only bits i like on a New Mini are the badge and the supercharger off the S!
Especially suits the look of your car.

i voted 'get rid'..... but im starting to change my mind, the more i see it the more i like it.

it is suprisingly good

looks pretty damn good to me.

I agree actually now, the more i look at it the more im liking it.

oh dear! lol!!

it fits perfect too, the curvature of the mini bonnet is the same as the bmw one where the badge sits, probably the only thing thats the same between the two!
