Replace the rear emblem on Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R53, R50, R52 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Manufacturer emblem

With exposure to the sun and atmospheric agents, it is very likely that the manufacturer's emblem will deteriorate after some time. If you are going to replace it, you are in the right video. Equip yourself with the new emblem, a long and flat tool, silicone and a degreaser and proceed with the following steps. The emblem, in addition to being stuck by two internal stops, is glued to the bodywork. With patience, use the flat tool to walk around the perimeter of the emblem to remove the glue from the bodywork. Surely the glue and dirt will have left stains, which you now have the opportunity to remove. Pass a bit of silicone over the new emblem and insert it into the holes in the body. Finally, apply a little pressure so that the silicone adheres perfectly.
