I always wondered why (BMW) MINI labels all their models as just "Cooper". When I tell people I have a Clubman they don't really know what it means or just assumes I'm trying to make my car sound better lol. MINI guys just think, "oh yeah the one with the ugly boot" lol. I was wondering if anyone on here added a little something extra.

I know outmotoring offers a few solutions

 

Mine just has an "S." I removed the rest of the letters.

 

I got mine from Cooper Sport, I like the font better. Plus, I had the Out Motoring one and all the chrome pealed off; I heard they fixed it, but I still like this font a lot more. Don't let the distortion fool you, it's perfectly straight.

 

Nice Scooter! That looks awesome

 

Looks good scooter. Mine has whatever came on it right now.

 

Mine has R55 on the left barn door and clubmanS on the right barn door. Some guy in the UK did it and I thought it cooled cool, so I did it a few years back.

 

Totally off topic, but reading that reminded me of something. Those stick on badges that parts and department stores used to sell for G-body GM's that fit into the door handle. They also had matching ones to go around the door lock cylinder. They would say things like "Special Edition" or "Buick."

 

Nah. Looks better debadged.

 

I concur; that was my route on my Clubby.

De-badging sure looks good... and tempting!

 

That looks really good!

 

Ooooo sexy.

 

I didn't add anything to the back - I just changed my scuttles to the "clubman" scuttles, very low key.

 

Those are a very underlining modification; I did that on my Clubman and get alot of questions from the regular Hatchback owners.

Debadge for me

 

Yep. I'm a manfisherman.

 

How does one go about debadging?

 

Take a couple strings of floss and run them back and forth behind the badge along the body of the car, it will take the badge off, then use a little goo-gone to take the glue residue off

 

gotcha thanks

 

All I needed was the sun (to heat the body panels) and my fingers; the badge and tape came off as one.

I only left the JCW badge one because, well, it would be like taking the M3 badge of my M3. It's just wrong. lol

Plus, I don't have to worry about having letters on the back that I will never be able to clean or detail in between and that REALLY bothers my OCD.

 

Those w the clubman scuttle can you guys take a pic from a bit further away?

 

The angle has a bit of glare but how does this work ??

 

I said I was done with switching scuttles so many times... but now you guys are killing me. That looks so good and subtle.

 

thx for the clubman scuttle pic... still unsure... i kinda want a change from the S but I dont know if its the JCW chrome one, black one, or this...

what I want are the 50th anniversary mirror caps
