I like the warning sticker! It makes me feel safer.

I, too, found the yellow decals on the sun visors annoying and believing that they could not be removed without leaving an ugly trace of where they were, looked to find a way to cover them up. Chose a commercial application for a solution. It was low cost and quick - only a couple minutes to apply.
With the view that maybe a seatbelt warning could be helpful, I found a better worded and more readable message for the passenger side visor.
Not needing such a message for the driver's side, since I always use my seat belt, I choose a black jack for a bit of British image.
Purchased these stickers from the artist who makes the sunshades with eye expressions - Artistic Reflection.

They come in two's for $8.00. So, I do have an extra set of this mismatched pair. Giving thought to buying a second MINI - if so, the offensive yellow will be quickly dispensed.-

FWIW, I removed mine years ago by soaking a folded paper towel in rubbing alcohol, flipping the visor up so the label was on "top", and laying the alcohol-impregnated folded towel on the label for hours / overnight. Label lifted right off without a trace and no elbow grease required.

One of mine was Peeling on its own, so I applied some goo-gone and it worked right off. That made me think, what about removing the other one.
So I put some goo-gone and that one and NOTHING, I did get it off.
It required light heat from a heat gun, goo-gone on a paper towel left to sit for a good amount of time, extremely light cuts with an Olaf-Knife (think Exacto).
It seems that what is really keeping the goo-gone out is the outside of the sticker, to the extremely light cuts enable the goo-gone to seep into the sticker and cause the glue to let go.
If your stickers are still in good shape I do not suggest messing with them as its a total pain to remove them.-

I used rubbing alcohol and enough elbow grease to detail an entire MINI. There is still a faint shadow in the material where they were but they are GONE.

^^^ Yup I did the same thing but I used an piece of black vinyl to cover them up.
I just cut it a little bigger that the warning label. -

R53 owners can cover the stock ones with these. It's better than looking at an illustration of a baby being decapitated by the airbag.
