I thought that the JCW logo on the air box was a 3-D colored crest? Is MINI getting cheap on us- again?
No decal, or colored badge but up close you can see an embedded imprint. I was disappointed at first but decided I like the clean look. BTW, I noticed yesterday an 09 JCW without etched John Cooper Works tailpipes. My tailpipes are etched with the logo [no pics but will post same later].
I'm sure this was the quickest way to get the new JCW logos onto the old kit. When I got my kit installed, I wondered if the badges would be the new logos or not. Personally, I prefer the old ones so I was happy to see the old logos on the car and airbox.

Well, I don't have to worry about a decal/badge coming off my airbox.

This is the way that the "new" tuning kit for cars built after July 08 is... it also features the "new" JCW logo.
I have a '07 R56 with JCW kit in the family, and it has the colored JCW logo on the airbox.
i've done quite a few of them in my time. Set up camera, put it on a shutter delay, press button, run, pose, repeat.
Then go into photoshop or similar, create cutouts, and place them all on one picture, just be sure to line everything up right.
You can also set up a camera on a tripod, set the camera at a long exposure (i.e., 2 min.) at a low ISO, then have someone manually operate a flash (or do it with a pocket wizard, if you have one).
The result: in one exposure you're in multiple spots in the frame. No photoshop (or aperture) needed. Pure lighting technique.
