Treated Sheldon (as if he deserves another present) to a little grill badge today. A BMC rosette Took an age to fit and my knuckes are quite grazed and sore from it! Being an MPi Mini his radiator got in the way of the screw in prongs on the back of the badge so I had to really fiddle to get it to stay on and losing the bolts on numerous times was quite annoying, but it was all worth it in the end, as a random bloke complimented him!

I'll let the pics do the talking, let me know what you guys think









Now to get either an RAC or AA vintage grill badge depending on what breakdown company I go for lol

Thanks for looking!

Thanks dude I thought it would be a bit different from a BMC sticker :)

[scotty_1987]

Thanks mate to be honest on my Mini, front mounted rad means it's one of the only places on the grill I can put it lol. Let's just hope no pikey tries to prize it off and nick it lol. Yeah definately, I've got enough of them on the back of him haha

Looks great! Could of taken the grill off and fitted it much easier and quicker than reaching over, you could of put some more screws in your grill after too only joking looks ace

[minimaxie]

Thanks pal :) Haha I cant take the grill off at the mo, 1 bolt has seized so ive soaked it wd40 but yeah I will do when it comes off lol. Hahaha I was waiting for someone to point that out ;) only noticed it myself takong the pics :/ whoops lol

exactly the same as what happened to me, now the grilles off every week for one problem or another... I was given an AA one by someone at work, made a bracket for behind so no one can nick it easily

[minimaxie]

Lol I know for a fact the grille needs coming off soon because the electric fan isnt kicking in whooops! So that needs to be sorted asap. Ah wicked mate you might have to send me how you went about making a bracket for it :) love your Cooper mate, the archea look good painted the same colour

[gwatkins15]

ah no :/ mine never worked until a week or so ago, I thought it had seized up! Cheers for the comments, for the bracket I just made a plate with two holes in for the bolts from the badge and bent it slightly so its around a grill slat then it doesnt move or anything

[minimaxie]

Yeah ive got a feeling its either that not working/not connected or its the thermostat :/ oh nice one mate might give that a go :)

[scotty_1987]

Front mounted rad? didn't no they existed unless custom fabricated haha!!

[minimaxie]

Lol MPi mate. Unless im missing something here? Is that the right term, front mounted rad?! Lol

[mininuts]
