So you just bought an R56 and want to get a few of MotoringBadge’s magnetic badges for the grille. Up until today you’d have to buy aftermarket holder or modify the previous version that fit the first generation MINI. Finally after what seemed like an enternal wait for some owners, MINI has released an badge holder for the R56 and (as you guessed it) we have the official PDF instructions.
[ R56 Grille Badge Holder ] Official MINI PDF
You mean to tell me people need instructions for this?
Evidently, MINI expects you to drill holes into the grill on the “standard” R56. Funny how MINI gives instructions on how to remove the grille, but not on how to replace it.
Does anybody know where I can actually pickup one of these new holders for the R56? My local dealer says they would need to order it and it might take 5-6 weeks!
<p>I can not figure out how to get the bottom 4 catches to release the grill. This thing is a nightmare!! Minis instructions are frikken horrible!!! I’m looking online for a video of someone doing this or better instructions and all I find is this… these horrible instructions that I’ve been slaving over for the past 20 minutes. It was hard enough getting the bottom grill lip off but now…</p>
<p>I’ll end up paying for the dealer to put these in for me at this point. I was hoping that I could do it myself. Maybe this is why they made such lousy instructions.</p>
