other Custom Rear Badges (2202, 2302, 2302ti etc)

Having seen Clay's recent foray into getting old style 1600 rear badges made up for a bunch of folks, I was wondering if people of other 2002 pursuits would want a custom rear badge for their own cars. I remember having discussions with Clay and Grice about making some badges for all of the various engine swaps that are common for 2002s. If you have gone through all of the trouble to make your '02 perform the way you want, we figured the cheeky finally would be to change its rear badge to reflect what is under the hood, but in a way that looks period.

 

There are a number of engines people swap into these cars and a number of fuel systems, so I want to see which badges might be popular enough to get a group buy similar to what Clay has done with the 1600 badges.

 

The common displacements I can think of in '02s include 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5 and 2.7. And then there are the suffixes ti and tii. Of course, there are some way out there mods like this 3.0 twin turbo swap I saw on BMW blog. That has a 3002ttii badge :D.

 

I am pretty sure with the modern marvel of 3D printing I can manage to make just about any badge someone would like. However, the economies of scale would only allow the truly popular ones to be made into aluminum. That way the cost of making the initial pattern can be distributed.

You missed one.....2002R 

 

And of course, 2002F  !

Heh. Well while I'm not sure BMW ever really used the 'R' designator, the oversight of the 'M' badge might be a sin of some sort. 2002M? M2002? I'll stick those in as well.

 

2002F is waaaaay below 2002J in my book!

It looks like there aren't enough takers on this idea. Maybe if I print out a concept prototype more would find it appealing. I think 2302ti is going to be the first since that is what Grice and I were talking about. I think he has a 2.3. 2.2? Grice?
