clubman "emblem"

I wanted to try this out to see if I liked it - not sure.
I know it's not quite level or spaced perfectly - it's tacked on with tape for now...
Suggestions / comments?

Just an honest opinion....but I'm not a big fan. I think you could find a better place for it I don't think it does much for the lines of the car.

If you like it, then it rocks.
Did you spell Clubman correctly? Made you look.

Placement??

i don't particularly like the area either...maybe on the back underneath the mini logo? Just a suggestion... but if YOU like it, thats whats most important! Did you tint the windows and if so, what was the percentage, my clubbie is pw/blk and I don't want to make a mistake...let me know! Wolfeee

Just my opinion, but I don't like it. Love your Clubbie tho! That red is hot.

With all due respect, I'm not sure that is a good location. How about underneath the side markers?

Hey There,

Gotta to tell you, Its not for me, I thought you were going to try it where the Cooper S is on the right rear door. I think it will look better there. But thats just what I think. As mentioned above, what you like is what counts.

Have a great weekend,

Larry

I put my Clubman emblem where my Cooper emblem was on the barn door. I took the Cooper emblem off with dental floss and then placed it next to the S. I've had quite a few good compliments on it. Only thing that sucks is that the hot Florida sun has already oxidized it in two months. Time to replace it already.

another thought would be to place it on either of the two front grilles. It's black so it wouldn't stand out too much, but it would be a neat detail once noticed.

kinda like this where the emblem is placed ON the grille

I'd thought about placing it on the rear a la the PW pix, but, as you see in my gallery, I thought it'd be a bit redundant with my vanity plates.

Maybe in line with the door handle on the clubman door?

I'd thought about that position but fear it would invite "pickers" who'd remove it thru any means, scratching the surface.

I'm thinking it just looks out of place...I'm going to agree with and go with under the side-marker light on the front fender...maybe a vinyl black bar with "clubman" cut out for the bottom of the clubbie door maybe, but I think you're on the right track, just a different type of product.

Hey LadyGodiva
Where did you get the Clubman Logo on the Pic you posted?
I would really like to exchange the Cooper logo with the Clubman logo.
I Like It.

I like it. Ask Mikee, he likes everything. Seriously, It looks fine and if you like it that is the most important thing.
