Even though it is another beautiful day here in Phoenix...I am giving you one of my "rainy day" posts. Figures work would to get busy for the short/holiday week!
A while back, I teased that I had a new accessory for my MINI Cooper...
Grill Badges! What they heck is that, you say? Well, here is a photo:
Since the badges are magnetic (and placed on a grill badge holder... more on that below), I put a couple on the "boot" of my Cooper... here I am honoring its British heritage and American home...
Since the place I ordered the badges from (again, details below) had a special offer when purchased 6 badges... here are 3 others...
(I decided to not crop this photo too closely around the badges since I got this "artsy" looking reflection thing going on).
Ok, the details...
First, you need to get a grill badge holder... this is a little metal disk that attaches through your grill. I ordered mine from Out Motoring, a cool MINI online store... here's a direct link to the grill badge holder product page. I think you can get them through MINI dealerships as well.
Next up, you need the magnetic badges... and ToddsMods is definitely the place to go. As of this writing, there are six pages worth of badges!
So a fun little accessory... nice that I can swap 'em around depending on my mood... and yet another dose of personality for your Cooper... not that a MINI is lacking in that department!

Nice collection of badges you have there....
Looks like you just need to add a Welsh Dragon!

congrats on the mini (pretty late huh?).
The car is expensive here in Malaysia (equivalent to a whopping USD51K!!!).
Yet I am still thinking to buy it, crazy isn't?
