New Wheels & Painted Calipers for my Cooper SE

[moncureww]

Just adhesive but it takes a bit of work to get it removed since it's a larger size badge.

I liked what someone did on another page where they put the retro Mini Cooper sticker in white vinyl in this area. That's what I plan on doing when mine comes in - removing the EV badging and yellow wheel caps. Looks great!

I removed mine w/ a heat gun and fishing line. Plastidipped it black, then heated it up and stuck it back on.

You did a great job! MINI should have done what you did when they switched the chrome trim to black.

By solar means on roof of my house solar panels

 

[Rexsio]

Have you removed the yellow MINI-E logo from the hatch, too?

Buy a one on right side no badge no extra work looks the same !

 

[Rexsio]

Would this replace the E badge on the rear hatch?

I always like to rebadge my cars. Doesn’t matter if ICE or EV. I like the cleaner look and it makes washing the car easier too.

 

[Tifosi]

Looks good! Must be nice having a lift!

Why not energetic yellow?

I'm planning on doing this, too.

Yea, I have removed all yellow. I hate the yellow!

 

[Tifosi]

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!

The black union jack lights match w/ the grey/black theme.

Is that a black beltline kit you have installed? Looks good! What brand?

 

[SameGuy]

The big question remains: are the turn signals easily converted to Euro?

 

[JonR]

@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.

Yeah that’s a question being discussed over at MF56.

Thanks, I love them!

Its factory. I tried the tape and it sucked, so ordered the OE parts.

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.

 

[SameGuy]

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.

I plastidipped mine too but didn't bother taking it off to do it. That's the big advantage of plastidip. You can just peel it off of unwanted sections.

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?

 

[Tifosi]

correct. like old school American taillights

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...
