Sorry Rob, i thought you meant the Cooper/One etc badges. The actual mini badges are pinned on, as you say.

Mini Pirate has stickers that you can sticker over the badge to make it different like carbon effect. his website is something like minipirate.co.uk or .com but you will find it on google.

Cover the holes with your own design badges?? Or if you want to spend the money then weld over the holes and sand smooth and respray.
