New Wheels & Painted Calipers for my Cooper SE

In 2016 was big deal what you drive today everybody pretends is ICE CAR REMOVING ALL ELECTRIC Badges is that make any sense?FF57ABE2-A09D-4DD7-9F3C-FF6CFEF70EA0.webp
 
Has anyone removed this badge? I’m hoping it’s just held on with adhesive and not one that uses pins and adhesive. I always like the understated de-badged look for my cars. Maybe I’ll feel different once I get this Mini.
I have and it is just two-sided tape. I have also debadged all my cars. I hate the look of logos and badges on the back of cars. I dont need to tell people what model I have, I know and that is enough! I like clean looks!

@Tifosi where did you get the tail lights? Is the turn signal amber too and the brake lights are red?

Many look exactly the same on eBay and Amazon but I don't know if some are better than others.
 
The black union jack lights match w/ the grey/black theme.
Thanks, I love them!

Is that a black beltline kit you have installed? Looks good! What brand?
Its factory. I tried the tape and it sucked, so ordered the OE parts.

The big question remains: are the turn signals easily converted to Euro?
Not sure what you mean?

I think they are all the same. The signals and brakes are red. No amber. I am ok with a red signal. I dont think the amber signal ones work in the us properly.

:) Your subsequent reply to @JonR reflected my point. Some of us want Euro turn signals, and getting the smoke-tinted lights is a bonus. In the linked thread at MF56, one of the members is investigating how to accomplish it.

When you press the brakes, both the vertical and horizontal bars turn red. And when you turn on the turn signal, both the vertical and horizontal bars turn on too. Right?

Love the debadged look man. I have mine debadged as well, but left the yellow S. Subtle and still clean...

Correct, that's how the factory US lights work. If you want to separate the horizontal and vertical sections you have to buy the factory UK lights, or one of the smoked versions online. Then there is some coding to get the horizontal to properly illuminate for a turn signal. A work in progress on the thread that @SameGuy linked to...
