    A local MINI owner has a friend who does vinyl wraps for cars, etc. He does smaller runs of printed (like this) or die-cut stickers when the shop has some down time.

    I created the graphics by scanning the original labels, cleaning them up substantailly in Photoshop and sending them off to the printer. They are not as sharp as they could be because I didn't want to spend the time to convert the file to a vector format (lots of hand work), but it looks pretty good, IMHO.

    I was able to fit 4 copies of each label into the width that he had available, so he charged me $15 (including shipping) to print, cut and ship 'em to me.

    If you are interested in having your own set made, I'd be happy to email you the contact info and the file... I might even be talked in to changing the color for you (though with computer colors and printing colors, there are no guarantees of getting a perfect color match to anything... mine are pretty good, but have a tad bit more orange than the rest of the red in my engine bay). I also just put them on... I can't speak to longevity.

    Thanks to Aaron for the files! Just received the stickers and applied them today. I got mine from edecals. The red color does not show up too well in the photo.

    Update, checked on the decals tonight after washing the MINI and the symbol decal was a little curled from the heat I guess but it laid right back down.

    Mr Jim... Did you download and print the decals? Or, better question maybe, how did you get them transferred to the correct material to install?
