Grill + Black Trim Set: BASE COOPER: 11+
(fiveyorks makes the best YouTube video on how to install and you must watch it before your start as this attaches differently than other trim pieces I have switched out.) This ended up being a half day project because there were not explicit instructions and I couldn't find a YouTube video on point until I had already made a mistake! Had there been instructions OR an included reference to a YouTube video, I would have given it 5 stars. My error was in removing the top and bottom grill trim first. The listing did say to remove the 4 screws at the top, but I hadn't noticed it until after I screwed up! Most of the YouTube vids are the ones where they take off the entire bumper. This set doesn't require that. Make sure you unscrew the four bolts on the top grill trim before you remove it. On the bottom you may find it easier to remove the grill with the chrome bottom trim attached as I couldn't get the new trim to work with the old grill (again most likely my own fault for guess...

This is a review of the M12 stud conversion kit for the R53 MINI Cooper S. This is the second stud kit that I have installed. The first set was of much lessor quality and was totally worn out within six years of auto-x, track days and winter tire change-over.

These new studs appear to be far superior and slightly longer. I also like the unthreaded portion that allows lining up the nut to help prevent cross threading.

I do have one question; Do you recommend any using any lubrication on the threads of the studs?

Great product, easy to install, and was delivered way before expected. I could not believe how fast this item came to me. Just need a little contact cement for the parking brake boot for a perfect install. Thanks again OM

I ordered The chrome tail light frames for my clubman and got them in 3days, they are something the factory should have put on.
They look and fit great .
Also every mini should have a “light in sight”
No more twisted neck looking for the stop lights pete

Synopsis: got badges?
If you've ever been to a MINI event or club gathering or maybe saw a MINI driving around town with a little round badge on the grill you've likely wondered to yourself what this was all about. Was that MINI special? Did they attend some event and got this badge? Did they win some sort of award? What's the deal with these badges on the grill anyways?

Well, it started many years ago with classic British cars having custom made ornate badges that designate certain country of origin or special edition vehicles and when MINI came 'back' to the market and made their presence known along with it came a desire to dig into the British Heritage and racing from which the MINI came from. It did not take long for MINI owners to start putting these classic style badges on their cars- which could have been borrowed from one of the MINIs older British cousins grill. Soon it seemed the classic style badges were too limiting in design or there wasn't just the right badge on the market to symbolize a specific event or country. Early adopters like MotoringBadges.com and a few others were first to market with a slew of round magnetic badges that attached to the official MINI badge holder. After the initial push from them and others it seemed like the market became flooded very quickly with every sort of grill badge for the MINI Cooper. Some were new and innovation sayings, shapes, images, icons or flags while others related to the club a MINI owner belonged to. In any case, they have become a staple in the MINI community and it seems that a MINI driving without a badge is naked or missing something.

If you're interested in getting a few badges for your MINI grill we've got a fantastic selection to chose from. Not only that but we offer a few different badge holders. Some mount to the grill while others mount to the license frame hardware. In any case you can display your badge collection for the world to see. Start with 1 and you'll soon find that they multiply- so beware!
