Just waiting on the badge holder now. Ordered online from Morristown MINI on Thursday morning (6th). 20% off list price but won’t be shipped until today apparently :-(

Looking forward to the “install”…

I don’t think they can be much thicker and still work properly on the grille badge – especially at speed. As it stands they’ve been tested up to 100mph.

…seems to have been cut out or printed wrong, since the border around the UJ is a different width in areas (UJ not centered correctly)…

That seems unusual. I believe out of all the ones I have I haven’t seen anything not printed perfectly on center. If you email Todd photos I’m sure he’d be happy to chat with you about it.

I don’t like it when things aren’t perfectly centered but unfortunately in print production, you’re never going to get perfect. That is unless you hand trim each piece, which would cost $25+ each instead of $7.50.

How bad is it?

I love the design and quality ink (I purchased a silver UJ) used for the product, and you cannot beat the price, but I was expecting it to be:

1)a little thicker magnet, which isn’t too big of a deal and

2)seems to have been cut out or printed wrong, since the border around the UJ is a different width in areas (UJ not centered correctly).

I’m debating on whether or not to go ahead and get the holder, as I wanted to wait and see what the badges looked like first.
